You can: You can use Hydrocortisone 1% cream or ointment. If does not improve then see your dermatologist for evaluation and to discuss treatment options.

Simple treatment: Gotta disagree with doctor's answer. Healing involves inflammation (redness, warmth, pain and swelling) which are natural and integral parts of healing. Using medicines that are anti-inflammatories such as topical steroids will slow down the healing. For better or worse, the itching is while inconvenient, a natural part of healing in that area. Use a good skin cream or burn ointment.

A member asked:
What can be done about itching in skin folds? The itching is more intense when bathing in warm water. Medicated talcum powder gives only temporary relief. Antibiotic ointments only seem to make it worse. Cortisone cream has no effect one way or the other.
