Hi Anon and welcome to EmpowHER:

Many treatment options are available for itchy skin, including over the counter and prescription drugs, plus alternative therapies. They include:

  - Antihistamines: topical diphenhydramine and oral doxepin.
  - Corticosteroids: hydrocortisone cream and oral prednisone.
  - Local anesthetics: benzocaine, diperodon, lidocaine, menthol, pramoxine, capsaicin.
  - Over the counter moisturizers.

If your problem is severe you should see a dermatologist who can diagnose the condition and prescribe prescription medications.

Hope that helps,

Pam
