I am 41 and have lived with Atopic Dermatitis my whole life since near 6 months old

Like I said in my last post… I am 41 and have lived with Atopic Dermatitis my whole life since near 6 months old… have been to several doctors, dermatologists, specialists, allergists, etc… have tried all types of creams, moisturizers, prescriptions, prescription creams, etc… still live with it today and it is beyond irritating

At this point I have given up ever finding anything that will make it “go away” tho I know it never fully will

And because I itch like all the time, even when I’m sleeping… I’ve been told it has become a coping mechanism for my diagnosed severe anxiety and depression…

I used to get told all the time to “stop scratching”, would even be punished at times, and made to wear mittens on my hands…

I can’t wear shorts or nice clothes alot of the time and am usually in jeans and a sweatshirt even on hot days… just to cover it all up…

I have lived in NC US for almost 4 yrs now grew up in PA US tho, am allergic to medications or end up with to many side effects (benedryl for 1) to even want to bother with taking any oral meds, seasonal allergies to pollen, nickel allergy, allergic to bug bites, etc…

I’ve tried so many creams and ointments and most don’t help much… Eucrisa is the only thing I have found that really does any good…

Can anyone give me any other ideas? Because I feel like I’ve exhausted everything possible and I feel so defeated… help!

Sick of all the scratches everywhere and SCARS… I feel horrible and hideous most of the time…

And this is how bug bites look on me… all kinds of bug bites
