Several types: If you have persistent itching you should see a physician to see if there is any cause.Zinc oxide creams are soothing and keep moisture away from skin. Creams containing 1% hydrocortisone are helpful for itching, but shouldn't be used longer than 2 weeks at a time. Pramoxine anti-itch cream can be very helpful for severe itching.
