Atopic Dermatitis Remedy #3: Wet Dressings
Somebody suffering from a severe case of atopic dermatitis may have wet bandages applied. These will generally contain topical corticosteroids or other compounds that help with the soothing and healing of the condition to help make the patient more comfortable.
Wet dressings usually take quite a lot of practice to get right and are only usually used in severe cases. This means that they are only likely to be done in hospitals because they are a lot of work, and nurses are available to do that work. You could learn to apply wet dressings yourself but you will need to learn how and they can be time-consuming.
