HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You should consider using oral antihistamines and applying topical steroid to the affected area.
The oral antihistamine should be available over the counter. Mild topical steroids such as hydrocortisone should also be available over the counter.
If these treatments are not effective then you may need a prescription for oral steroids from your doctor.
I hope this helps
