Take oral Bendryl to relieve the itching. Calm the rash by washing it with cool water and patting it dry with  a clean soft cloth. Apply 1% hydrocortisone cream, and dab on a light layer of Caladryl lotion. Do not scratch! If you do not get relief in a day or two, or if the rash spreads to your face, consult a physician immediately.

Moisturize moisturize moisturize!  Also make sure it's kept reasonably clean.  I had problems with this for YEARS and it caused scarring from inflamation and scratching.  Try some anti itch cream also I don't think it matters whether you use moisturizer and cream at the same time.  Vaseline Intensive Care lotion is very good and economical.  And Lanacane helps with the itch, but generic kinds work too.  Good luck.

I suffer from allergies and occasionally end up with hives.  Try Benadryl or another antihistamine and it should relieve the itchiness.

I am not sure.\nAre you itching in one area of your body or all over?\nDid you eat something , then the itching started. \nDid you walk by a certain plant , then you started to itch?\nDid you use a certain perfume or cologne,then you started to itch?\nDid you put some lotion on your skin , then you started to itch?\nDo you have dry skin? \nAll except for dry skin, would be allergic reaction to something that that you put on, inhale, or eat. \ntry and remember.\nIf this is the case some Benadryl would help.\nCall your Doctor and let him know and also let him know if you have taken anything for it. Might need to do Allergy test to see which of these you are allergic to , if it is indeed allergic reaction.\nHope I was able to help.

Ask your doctor to give you hydroxazine.  It helps allieviate the itch and will help you with sleep.  Also, I'm sure you've tried caladryl (the clear works great) and try to keep yourself cool.  Any type of heat or over excertion will make it itch more.  The oatmeal bath can help, but for some, the water alone will make you feel itchy and drying off can be rough.  See if your doctor will perscribe the hydroxazine, take some benadryl in the mean time and see if some hydrocortisone on some of the areas will help with any inflammed spots... Sooo sorry your suffering... I hope this helps.

You should take some Benadryl by mouth then apply Benadryl cream or hydrocortisone cream to the rash to help with the itching. That should get you by until you see the doc. Good luck.

im assuming youre a woman...if it is a yeast infection you should go get a treatment, monistat works well, or if its just irritation just get some vagisil cream...it makes the itch go away.  either way, if it doesnt go away in 7 days go see a doctor, they can tell you what you have and how to treat it.

Have you tried capsaicin cream? This is a hot pepper cream that is used for arthritis pain when applied to the joints. It can also be used for intractable itching. Apply a small amount every eight hours. The first couple times you will feel heat for about 20 minutes. After 5-6 regular applications you will no longer feel any heat and you will notice your itching is gone. When you get to this point only a single application might be necessary to keep your itch from coming back. My dermatologist told me this option and it works great for severe itching. Capsaicin is available OTC from the pharmacist if you don't see it out on the shelf.\n\nBTW-You probably have dermatitis or eczema. It is very common for dermatitis or eczema symptoms like itching to begin as the skin drys out in the fall and winter.\n\nhttp://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/488914_3\n\ngood luck
