If you cant go to the doctors, try these solutions.
Go to the store and get a bottle of cortisome cream. (I dont know how its spelled, but thats what it sounds like) It should come in a little pink bottle, and you just put a little on the spots where you have the itching and it will make it go a way fast.
Go to the drug store.they sell something that starts with a "Z" i think..comes in a small tube.can't remeber the name, ask the druggist. Use it EXACTLY as the dirctions say, you'll be cured in no time.
stop itching.take oatmeal baths
First determine severity. If require a dr., He will give you a 6-day steroid pack that will pretty much clear it up. Another option is to treat it yourself. If your an adult, buy a 15gram tube of benadryl cream along with a 15 gram tube of hydrocortisone 1% cream. Mix the two together and apply 2 to 3 times a day. Try not to use on open sores. If this doesn't calm the itch, Buy some benadryl capsules and take 1 every 8 hours, and use along with the cream. Keep in mind this may make you drowsy.
