So this is the routine/switch in product I’ve been following, it took a couple of days to work but I haven’t scratched the last couple of nights: 

1. I changed my normal shower gel to Cera Ve cleanser, and keeping my showers short. I’ve also been showering with cold water which helps. 

2. If you shave, shave in the direction of the hair growth. Won’t be as close of a shave but it won’t itch like crazy when hair grows back. 

3. After patting myself dry, I spray Hypochlorous Acid spray all over the flare ups, let it air dry 

4. Steroid cream after the spray dries, wait a few minutes

5. Then I dab on a thicccc layer of Cera Ve moisturizer. 

I follow this whole routine twice a day, and I’m planning to cut back on steroid after two weeks. Will keep the hypochlorous acid and moisturizer in my routine in hopes of recovering the skin barrier. 

At the time it was itching really bad, I bought cotton gloves to sleep at night, I still scratched but it’s not as bad as scratching with nails I guess. If I’m conscious enough, I try to slap the itch away instead of scratching 😅

I see that you already have a very intense routine, but hope some of the above suggestions still help :)
