Skin (ITCH) Treatments

*Try pinching the skin near the itch between your thumb and forefinger through your clothing; this is less damaging than actual scratching.

*Have lukewarm showers or baths, and add a little baking soda. Soak the scalp or feet in warm water with baking soda if they are itchy.

*Soaking in a bath in which two cups of rolled oats secured in a sock have been placed can relieve itching.

*Use a cold compress or apply calamine lotion.

*Avoid wearing any irritating clothes and wear cotton if possible.

*Keep away from hot, humid environments.

*Oral antihistamines can help control allergic reactions and itching, and can break the itch-scratch cycle.

*Over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream can help on localised itchy areas.

*Rub-on corticosteroids can be prescribed by your general practitioner.
