Atopic Dermatitis Treatment: Bathing And Moisturizing Bathing: Tub bath for severe flaring or very dry skin. Bathe twice daily for 20 minutes (until fingertips wrinkle), using lukewarm water only. Shower: acceptable when skin is under good control or when flare is mild. Avoid: washcloths, rubbing-scrubbing or overuse of soap. After bathing: dry off only partially by patting with a towel. No rubbing. While some water is still on the skin and within 3 minutes and before leaving bathroom: apply triamcinolone cream or other steroid cream as directed by doctor to red, itchy areas. Apply moisturizer all over: Moisturizing should be repeated as often as necessary to keep skin soft throughout the day.
