Moisturize or keep dry?

Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with PR a week ago. I've had it for 4 weeks now and so I still have a long way to go.

I've been using all the tips I've seen on the internet, such as Head and Shoulders, vitamins, L-lycine, etcetera. I am very pleased to say that a lot of spots are starting to flake and the colour switches from red to brown-ish, like a scar.

Am I supposed to let it dry out, or does my skin needs to get moisturized?
