Any Suggestion For Itchy Skin After Using Efudex On Face, Neck Area?

I have used Efudix on my face, mainly neck area, the skin cancer has diminished but I have been left with very itchy skin. With constant scratching some welts have appeared, the itchiness drives me insane. Is there a lotion I can apply to ease the itching. I have been taking an antihistamine but they often make me drowsy.

I really appreciate your concern if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the "Diphenhydramine lotion and Tab Levocetrizine this is less sedative drug than the other antihistamine and gives very good results, hope this information helps you have good day.
