Given your persistent symptoms of allergic contact/atopic dermatitis, it's important to reassess your treatment approach, especially since corticosteroids are no longer providing relief. First, identify and avoid potential triggers, such as allergens, certain fabrics, or food sensitivities, which may be exacerbating flare-ups. Incorporating a gentle, fragrance-free skincare routine, including regular moisturizing and soothing treatments like aloe vera or coconut oil, can help calm irritated skin. You might also explore natural remedies like neem or turmeric, known for their anti-inflammatory properties. A diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods and supplements like omega-3s, turmeric, and vitamin D can support skin health. If the flare-ups continue, consult with a dermatologist about alternative treatments such as topical calcineurin inhibitors, or explore systemic treatments like immunosuppressants or biologics. Additionally, stress management through yoga, meditation, and relaxation techniques may help reduce flare-ups, as stress is a common trigger. Consider consulting a healthcare provider for a more tailored approach to managing your condition.
