question: Hi doctor, I have been experiencing flare-ups for weeks now. I do not know if this has something to do with the change of weather. I have been having trouble sleeping lately since I am very uncomfortable right now. I am using Cetaphil gentle wash and shampoo because my scalp gets itchy as well. I am using Elica ointment and somehow it helps me with some of the areas that are not really that worse, however, the uncomfortable feeling is still there. Sometimes I take antihistamines, however, I do not think that it helps me feel relieved with my atopic dermatitis. I am 28 years old and a project manager. My clients are in the US and I need to follow their timezone, my shift starts at 10 PM to 7 AM. I weigh around 190 lbs and I am 5'1". I also have an irregular menstrual cycle, and I usually get my period every quarter. I have asthma and I am currently taking Seretide inhaler as prescribed by my doctor. Please help.
