Mine is hereditary too and I think I am (or was) in the same boat you are. I have a whole cupboard full of steroid creams and ointments and pills but those seem to work for me. I also have it most severely on my hands and I'm told not to use strong chemicalled soaps. I use either Cetaphil or Dove. Also if yours is allergy related like mine is, I have an air filter in my room also. I take Atarax at night to help with my unconscious scratching. Other than that, bathe often. I've really gotten mine under control lately. I hope I can help!
