I need advice on a skin condt. called Dermatitis Karatosis {sp?}:?

I have a skin condition called Dermatitis Karatosis. It looks like rash and is mostly on the arms {sometimes cheeks}. My Dr. said it was hereditary and could never be cured..but possibly 'tamed'. I've used a product called Betamide Lotion which has Urea in it...but it only seemed to aggrivate it more. I have also used tea tree oil and witch hazel. As a kid I never had a problem with it and only noticed it to appear in the last five yrs. In the last six yrs I was on psychiatric meds and wondered if that was a part of it's appearance. I have recently stopped all the meds and have been off of them for a year now. It still hasn't cleared up. Any suggestions????
