- Over-the-Counter Moisturizers: Choose alcohol-free, preservative-free, and fragrance-free products. Ingredients like salicylic acid, coal tar, colloidal oatmeal, or petrolatum can help.
- Systemic Treatments: Oral or systemic corticosteroids and biologics may be prescribed for more severe cases.

Always consult with a dermatology clinician for personalized medical advice.
