I know just how you feel. I have episodes with dermatitis myself. Not many people understand the irratation of dermatitis. I have a very simple way of easing my irratation. First, refraim from use of harsh soaps, lotions and shampoos. Next, moisturize the area with a scent and dye free moisturizer, like aveeno, petro. jelly or even vegatable oil (this was a reccomendation from my physican.) Afterwards wrap the area(s) in a wet bandage. ;) repeat this as much as possible. Bare in mind I am not a physican and I am not qualified to diagnose you with dematitis. However, I do notice striking simularites and feel it meets the major crietion of dermatitis as published by the NATIONAL ECZEMA ORGANIZATION. I would suggest trying this, if you feel comfortable its dematitis. Good Luck!
