Mgt: Thank you for calling. The itchiness and inflammation may be treated topically initially. I would recommend washing the area with an oatmeal bath powder. Then, apply caladryl lotion three times daily. If this does not help, a topical hydrocortisone lotion may be applied. https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000027.htm for more information
