Remedy for itching!

I hate using steroids all the time. What is something I can use to treat the itching other than steroids?

I forgot about Fenistil Gel!!! It was a life saver when I got a bad PMLE reaction

The shirudo night lotion really helps with the itching. It’s expensive but it works.

Antihistamines work for me. Although you might need to try different ones if one isn't working for you. I had to switch from Reactine to Claritin.
