Cortisone cream. Use the Aveeno bath soak packets...they will help a lot. Also, take the non-drowsy Benadryl.
Reply:get rid of the cause. no point taking benadryl if you're still lathering yourself with asbestos.

Reply:See a dermatologist. There are topical ointments that can be used to treat it. Calamine lotion is a quick fix (found at local drug store) until you can get a prescription for something better. The doc may even give you a topical steroid if you've got dermatitis. Once you've used it for a while it may go away for good... or it may be as much as a year before you need anything else. You'll probably need to apply to the affected area for a few weeks and then a bit after it goes away.





Good luck!

Reply:Aloe Vera Gel, or something cool and soothing as a surface treatment. I try to stay away from drugs, they're stupid. Excluding cigarettes and beer, of course. Kidding! I meant prescription drugs anyways.





If you've ever heard of Tiger Balm, it might smell like shxt, but it's really helpful for me.
