Check bedding: Check bedding for insects, bed bugs e.g. Wash skin with a gentle antibacterial soap, moisturize with an eczema cream a few times per day. A Children's antihistamine may be used for itching and scratching. If the skin is itchy due to an allergic reaction e.g. dust, keep the room and bedding dust free, wash sheets in hot water and have allergy testing completed. Avoid harsh detergents, fragrance.
