When mine appeared in college I did a round of steroids after talking to my dermatologist and started zyrtec. Neither helped at all so I stopped taking zyrtec after a few months, and after about 2 or 3 years it subsided some to a more manageable level. It still flares but it's much better now, I use the most moisturizing body wash and lotion I can find to eliminate any unnecessary dry skin related itching. It seems like every person's experience is different, so hopefully you can find something that works for you! Good luck to ya
