For those with nummular dermatitis, here are some tips to help alleviate symptoms and promote skin healing:

- Protect Your Skin From Injury and Trauma: Avoid cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and burns. Refrain from scratching itchy areas to prevent bacterial infections.
- Take Short Baths: Limit baths to 20 minutes or less using lukewarm water. Avoid harsh soaps and detergents; use gentle cleansers instead.
- Moisturize and Apply Emollients: Keep your skin hydrated by applying moisturizers at least once a day, especially after bathing. Thicker creams and ointments offer better protection.
