Hello,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern. Some advices that I can give to you are: -Try calamine lotion -For severe itching from contact dermatitis, apply hydrocortisone cream 4 times a day until the itch is gone. -Try an oral antihistamine to help the scratch-itch cycle. -After a rash has developed, leave it alone as much as possible. Use soap and water sparingly. Leave the rash exposed to the air whenever possible. Do not scratch the rash. Hope my answer was helpful,if you have any other question I will be glad to answer,thanks!
