Prevention of Dermatitis Herpetiformis
Use a humidifier at home and at work to keep the air from getting too dry.
Wear loose-fitting, natural-fiber clothing; untreated cotton is ideal.
Avoid plated jewelry, especially in your ears, to prevent nickel-related rashes. Surgical steel or 14-karat gold earring posts are safer choices.
Don't wear a watchband that presses against your skin for long periods; the friction and sweat buildup can cause rashes.
Take warm, not hot, baths or showers and use mild soaps.
Lubricate your skin after a bath and several times during the day when possible using an unscented lotion or cream.
