Can i tell me how i can resist itching?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

How do your resist: Scratching an itch? How about lessening the itch. Consider products like calamine lotion, benadryl, (diphenhydramine) steroid creams etc.

I've had issues with pilonidal cyst, sinus. Lately, though, haven't had pain and there's been little to no drainage from what I can tell; just two small dimples. Itches some. Should I see a doc? Or just keep it clean, shaven, and not worry too much?
