Here is a great site. It will take you awhile to read or print this out. Other sites are also good informational sites.
I understand how you feel about the dark spots on your skin. I have Vitiligo, which means my skin loses color and is shocking white.
Here is some ideas for controlling

Controlling Atopic Dermatitis

* Prevent scratching or rubbing whenever possible.
* Protect skin from excessive moisture, irritants, and rough clothing.
* Maintain a cool, stable temperature and consistent humidity levels.
* Limit exposure to dust, cigarette smoke, pollens, and animal dander.
* Recognize and limit emotional stress
