I try to determine why I have an itch. If it is merely dry skin I apply cream or lotion preferably non scented or scented with healing botanicals. If I notice scaling, redness or bumps I apply mineral oil petroleum based ointment on my body or a vanishing cream ointment on my face both prescribed by my dermatologist. Sometimes the itching continues on my face so I layer a histamine blocker cream over that.

Sadly, I itch. I scratch. I rub. I try lotion but often without relief. Cortisone creams.

I take a cool shower, then moisturize with 100% unrefined shea butter and lidocaine ointment. If the itch gets out of control, I take four Benadryl tablets and try to nap while the medication takes effect. I sleep in cotton gloves to prevent scratching while sleeping.
