Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic
According to your complaints it seems to be pruritus.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine 10 mg twice daily for 8-10 days.
This should help in resolving itching.
