The implementation that would make a patient with atopic dermatitis more comfortable is to:
1.   instruct the patient to wear loose clothing.
2.   add alcohol to the bath water.
3.   provide a diet low in fat.
4.   increase the room temperature to 78º F to 80º F.

Be careful about the clothes you wear and how you wash them. Care in these areas can help patients avoid irritants that trigger atopic dermatitis flares.

Wash new clothes before wearing them. Formaldehyde and other irritating chemicals often are present in new clothing.
Wear open-weave, loose-fitting clothing that lets air circulate freely over the skin.
Wear cotton or cotton-blend clothing, which may be less irritating than other fabrics. If wool irritates your skin, avoid it.
Remove labels if they bother you. If seams cause itching, try wearing clothes inside out while at home.
Use fragrance-free, dye-free, liquid detergents. Use a second rinse cycle to remove any residual detergent.
