My derm told me Aquaphor for my hands but they were to the point of bleeding. Typically I do a colloidal oatmeal soak oat dry, use my treatment (let that dry, thin layer of CereVe healing ointment let that sit for 5 minutes then add a nice layer of Aquaphor, this is at night so I wrap them. And I just use CereVe or Aquaphor through our the day. My itching has really lightened up. Unless I have gloves on for too long.
