Country of Remedy: USA
Ingredients: Petroleum Jelley / Baby Powder
Instructions: After experiencing 6 months of severe atopic dermatitis, going
to 5 dermatologists, and trying every cream/lotion/home rememdy/prescription
medication possible, I found that coating the skin with petroleum jelly and
then a thick coat of baby powder will elimate the itching. Yes, you will look
like a ghost, but it will protect the skin from the air and relieves the itch
immediately. This is a quick fix for a severe itch, but sometimes quick relief
is what you need to keep you from going insane with the itch.

can buy a small bottle of it
