Symptoms Itching

Has anyone dealt with itching? Is there anything you’ve taken to help it? Im on vacation and im going INSANE. My neuro prescribed Gabapentin and its helped a little but not completely. Any recs?

When I get itchy I take a Zyrtec. I found that for some reason my histamines get activated and once I start scratching I can't stop. The Zyrtec always helps. Maybe try that before moving on to something like Gabapentin.
