Hi,
I would recommend you to apply a topical steroid like Clobetasol Propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily along with frequent and liberal application of a moisturizing cream 2-3 times in a day. For itching take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine twice daily for few days. This will resolve your itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
