Either: Either may help with symptoms. Hydrocortisone cream which is available over-the-counter may both relieve the symptoms and help get rid of the rash. Antihistamines like claritin, zyrtec and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) will also help for both.

Itchy skin keeping me awake. No rashes, flakiness, lotion/soap, pets, or bugs. Sheets are clean. Not present during the day. Hot shower helps a little?
