Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Based on the symptoms I advise you to get liver function tests done to rule out any underlying pathology for itching. If its normal then you can apply calamine lotion and if itching is severe antihistamine can be given. If the symptoms doesn't subside then consult your doctor for proper diagnosis.
Thank you
