@Hello.oregongirl. I suffer from the same thing. I am 73 and have found all the products the doctor has given me totally hopeless. I just react to them So after a lot of research I have gone totally natural and alternative and my skin is much better. So these are my tips.....
Bathe every 2-3 days 10-15 minutes in warm water with colloidal oatmeal..
Pat dry I then use a combination of any of.....
Nettle
Vera gel
Probiotic skin barrier body balm (hypoallegenic and vegan)
Internally I take......
Pure slippery elm in capsule form
Allevia Hives (antihistamin)
Wear only cotton next to your skin and give each product time ....10mins or so....to work before despairing. This should give relief for about 6-8 hours then I reapply creams.
These have helped me very much. I do know how agonising it is and wish you luck
