Dry skin and itching since birth are often due to sensitive skin or eczema. Regular use of gentle moisturisers, mild bathing products, and avoiding irritants can help, but a dermatologist should evaluate for proper long-term care.

Moisturizing: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer multiple times daily to keep the skin hydrated.
Bathing: Limit baths to 5-10 minutes using lukewarm water. Use mild, soap-free cleansers.
Elidel Cream: Consider using Elidel Cream for eczema or dermatitis, as it helps reduce inflammation and itching. Consult a doctor for a prescription and proper usage.
Avoid Triggers: Identify and avoid potential irritants or allergens that may worsen the condition.
Consultation: If symptoms persist or worsen, seek advice from a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment options.
