A 6-year-old girl is brought to your clinic by her mother because of a 3-week history of intensely itchy skin that is waking her at night. She has had "dry, sensitive skin" since infancy and her mother has asthma. She bathes daily in hot water with scented bubble bath and uses moisturizer only occasionally. She takes no medications and has no known drug allergies. On examination, there are ill-defined, erythematous, scaly patches with excoriations and thickened skin with accentuated markings on the cheeks, neck folds, and antecubital fossae. There are no vesicles, honey-coloured crusts, or punched-out erosions.
