For dry, sensitive skin, look for gentle, fragrance-free barrier repair creams containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin (such as CeraVe, Cetaphil, or Vanicream). For mild itching or inflammation, a short-term, over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream can help, but limit its use to one week to avoid skin thinning. If you experience severe redness, scaling, or eczema, a doctor may prescribe non-steroidal topical calcineurin inhibitors (like pimecrolimus) or prescription-strength steroids. Always patch-test new products on a small area first, and consult a dermatologist if your symptoms persist.
