Atopic dermatitis is a kind of eczema, which is a condition of chronic dryness that affects skin. While it is not totally clear in scientific communities all over the world as to what causes or triggers this particular disease, it has been noted that it is slowly and gradually affecting more and more people worldwide. There are some simple methods you can use to keep it in check, but it is not necessary that these will all work towards curing your problem altogether. The first step you need to take is to throw the steroid cream you used out of the window. Obviously, this has caused a severe allergic reaction which has led to your streaks. Don't use this again. Instead, use a hypoallergenic, organic and natural sun screen to protect your skin for the future. Not only will this work better, it will also ensure that your skin does not suffer from any allergic reaction.

Try to keep your skin fully moisturized at all times, as this is the biggest problem with patients of eczema. The best thing to use would be organic extra virgin olive oil. This is a bit expensive, but it will slowly and surely heal your skin back to normal. You will need to be patient, as it may take a month or even more time to heal fully.
