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.

Antihistamines such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) can help relieve itching caused by hives, but won’t affect itching from other causes. Most antihistamines also make people sleepy, which can help patients sleep who would otherwise be awake from the itch. Specific treatment of itching depends on the underlying condition that causes it. In general, itchy skin should be treated very gently. While scratching may temporarily ease the itch, in the long run scratching just makes it worse. In addition, scratching can lead to an endless cycle of itch—scratch—more itching. To avoid the urge to scratch, a person can apply a cooling or soothing lotion or cold compress when the urge to scratch occurs. Soaps are often irritating to the skin, and can make an itch worse; they should be avoided, or used only when necessary.\nCreams or ointments containing cortisone may help control the itch from insect bites, contact dermatitis or eczema. Cortisone cream should not be applied to the face unless a doctor prescribes it. Probably the most common cause of itching is dry skin. There are a number of simple things a person can do to ease the annoying itch:\n• don’t wear tight clothes\n• avoid synthetic fabrics\n• don’t take long baths\n• wash the area in lukewarm water with a little baking soda\n• for generalized itching, take a lukewarm shower\n• try a lukewarm oatmeal (or Aveeno) bath for generalized itching\n• apply bath oil or lotion (without added colors or scents) right after bathing People who itch as a result of mental problems or stress should seek help from a mental health expert.

There are many things that can cause itching.  If you live in the south and ramble in the woods or in tall grass, it could be chiggers....a minute little bug that gets on you and bites.  Or one of the poisons...ivy,ect.\n\nIf you have been to a hotel you could have gotten bed bugs.\n\nI would suggest that you and your father see a dermatologist.  This is a skin doctor and help is there!  If the itching is severe, creams with benedryl in them help and so do the benedryl pills.  Just until you can get to a dermatologist!

When you scratch your itch, you are temporarily paralyzing the sensors in your skin.

When a part of your body is itchy, it is because the nerves on that part of your body are sending some sort of signal to your brain.  Your brain then processes that signal as itchiness.  If your brain is receiving no signals at all from a part of your body, it sometimes just makes something up.\n\nSince the brain doesn't feel pain, some types of brain surgery can be done with awake patients.  An interesting thing to think about is that when a brain surgeon pokes random parts of a patients brain, the patient will "feel" sensations at corresponding parts of their body.

90% of the time, itchy skin is merely a sensitivity to something in your environment--it's the other 10% that you'll need to be concerned about.  Itchy skin can be a symptom of certain cancers, such as Hodgkin's Disease Lymphoma.  I ask you, are there other symptoms such as unexplained weight loss, night sweats (drenching amounts of sweat that only occur while sleeping), or fatigue?  Even if there isn't, I'd still recommend seeing a doctor, who can use some simple blood tests to determine whether it's worth further examining.\n\nYou may also be experiencing allergies to something such as detergents (I doubt this one, or you'd be itching everywhere clothing touches you), dust, soaps, shaving creams or gels, or even certain foods.  Think back to when this all started, and see if you can remember any changes you made out of the ordinary.  You may also try changing your razor if you shave your legs; sometimes the blades of mass-produced razor heads aren't in exact allignment, and the tiny little scrapes that they produce--even if you didn't feel them when they happened--can become irritated and make your skin itch.  In fact, the little bumpy rashes you described fit nicely with this possibly being the problem.\n\nFor relief in the meantime, you can try taking Benadryl tablets along with using Hydrocortisone creams.  You're right to be aware of how much you're scratching, since it's easy to make a bad situation even worse by creating little open wounds with your fingernails.\n\nWhatever you do, please go to a doctor first and work this issue from worse-case scenero first before switching over this and that, these and those.  \n\nGood luck to you!

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.

there is a cream you need to find a better doctor(s)I think it starts with a P. I had it once from working as a cashier someone gave it to me and I gave it to my kid dr prescribed the cream and it only took a few days to clear up. If it's that nad you need to get help immediately go to the E.R. if you have to if you get that cream you will feel so much better I can't believe you could deal with that so long...the itching is horrible.
