Skin issues usually require a direct visual evaluation for diagnosis and treatment. This site does not let us see uploaded photographs & you have not provided a description that would allow comment. Hydrocortisone is a common OTC med that can help reduce itching in some cases. Antihistamines can also.

Depends entirely on the allergy, and how severe it is. See a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and appropriate therapy.
