Itching: Have you tried Benadryl (diphenhydramine), (diphenhydramine) b/c that should help control the itching. If you have and it didn't help, you should get checked out to determine the cause of the itching, plus there is a prescription medication called Hydroxyzine, which can help itching as well, which is stronger than Benadryl (diphenhydramine).

See a dermatologist: Benadryl, diphenhydramine, Atarax, and hydroxyzine are antihistamines which are also tranquilizers. Antihistamines reduce itch only if the itch is related to histamine: hives, scombroid fish poisoning, Vancomycin poisoning. Tranquilizers are used to help people sleep. They are DANGEROUS if used otherwise as they are common causes of accidents. You need an immediate diagnosis with therapy according
