Debi Amador 120 Posted April 5, 2014 Lotion is normally a good way to stop an itch, or try an ice pack. Good luck, it goes away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Preciousme123 1 Posted April 5, 2014 I had it bad too...just don't scratch! Get in the shower and let some warm Water run over them. It is a temporary fix but it is a few minutes in heaven . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patoonces 13 Posted April 5, 2014 So last night itch at peak. Areas are red and puffy, my skin is very sensitive. Broke down and called the on call doc today he said try Benedryl so wish me luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patoonces 13 Posted April 5, 2014 I took One Benedryl and it took the itch from a ten to a 7 for fear of sleeping the whole day away I didn't take two but it probably would have helped Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
