### Home Remedies for Managing Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis 1. **Moisturizers**: Use thick creams or ointments like petroleum jelly. Apply at least twice a day, especially after bathing. Avoid lotions as they contain more water and are less effective at keeping skin hydrated. 2. **Short Showers**: Keep showers under 10 to 15 minutes with lukewarm water. Use unscented, mild soaps or non-soap cleansers. 3. **Bleach Baths**: Add a quarter-cup to a half-cup of bleach to a full bath. Soak for 5 to 10 minutes, then moisturize. 4. **Fragrance-Free Products**: Use only fragrance-free skin care products. Test new products on a small area of skin before full use. 5. **Cotton Clothing**: Wear cotton clothing, towels, and sheets. Avoid tight clothing and wool. Wash new clothes before wearing with fragrance-free, dye-free detergent. 6. **Oatmeal**: Add colloidal oatmeal to baths or apply as a paste to relieve itching. Look for moisturizers containing oatmeal. 7. **Wet Wraps**: After bathing and applying medication, wrap affected areas with moist gauze followed by a dry layer. Leave on for several hours or overnight. 8. **Stress Management**: Practice deep breathing or meditation to reduce stress, which can worsen symptoms. 9. **Vitamin D Supplement**: Consult your doctor about taking vitamin D to help improve symptoms. 10. **Consistent Temperatures**: Avoid sudden temperature changes. Keep home temperatures consistent to prevent dry air. 11. **Gloves**: Wear gloves during chores and in cold weather to protect hands. 12. **Healthy Diet**: Eat at least three servings of fruit a week and avoid fast food to help reduce symptoms.
