• Avoid eating dairy foods and foods with gluten.
• Bubble bath may contribute to dermatitis (and sometimes urinary tract infections).
• Consider being tested for food allergies to determine if that may be the cause of dermatitis.
• Infants who suffer from dermatitis may benefit from primrose oil and vitamin B6 (pyridoxine).

• After skin has been exposed to water or irritants, apply tea tree oil antiseptic cream to it.
• Because avidin prevents biotin from being properly absorbed into your body, do not consume products that contain raw eggs.
• Brown rice and millet should be a regular part of your diet.
• For six weeks, eliminate gluten from your diet. After the initial six weeks, try adding it back into your diet one item at a time. If you notice changes in your condition, it may be wise to eliminate it from your diet in order to control your dermatitis.
• Humidify your home if it is not already humid. Because showers and baths can remove natural oils from your skin, you may consider bathing less often.
• Maintain a clean colon. Use enemas to get rid of toxins, and get plenty of fiber in your diet. Fiber supplements like psyllium husk and flaxseed are beneficial.
• Stay away from eggs, soy foods, wheat, dairy, peanuts, sugar, processed foods, fried foods, chocolate, white flour, fats, and strawberries.
• Use a daily moisturizer that is free of perfume.
• Use the following mixture for dermatitis of the scalp: concentrated tea made of rosemary and comfrey, tea tree oil, dried nettles, and witch hazel. After shampooing, apply to scalp and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
