Would you recommend a hydrocortizone cream to help with the itching? I was looking at buying Aveeno Maximum Strength 1% Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Cream. The itchiness is unbearable. When I put lotion on, it just burns and itches even more. I rinsed it off soon after because my skin felt like it was tingly/itchy all over.
I have some scaring on my forearms (little white dots) but I have not had any scarring left over on my legs, back, or stomach. That probably has more to do with the fact that those areas were constantly covered and I never wore sunscreen so my arms were always exposed to the sun. They are barely barely noticeable on my arms.
For the percentage, I've always gotten 1%. I'm not sure what all is available in your country, but it may also be listed as hydrocortisone cream. I'm currently using Cortizone-10 for my thighs, and I've used Aveeno Anti-Itch Cream. They are both 1%, but the Cortizone-10 has Aloe in it.
As for the scratching, I completely understand your pain. It would feel absolutely amazing to give in and scratch. It would literally give me chills it would feel so good, and then I'd look down to see my nails all bloody because I was literally gouging my skin.
If possible, try to wear as little clothing as possible to keep things from touching it and try a few different things to get the itch out if you absolutely cannot stand to not touch. Something that works for me (well... sometimes) is a pretend itch. I'll literally hold my hand over the itchy area and move my hand as if i'm scratching it, but I'm really scratching the air. I've also try blowing on it, cooling it, etc. Hydrocortisone cream should help. It is an anti-iching agent, but you have to let it dry. I know sometimes I'd get so impatient searching for immediate relief. It has to absorb into the skin to start working.
I haven't tried it, but it looks like there is a Benadryl Itch Stopping Cream. I know Benadryl is meant for allergies, so this might work. It has a histamine in it.
Also, check your local drug stores. We have cortisone cream in the US in every one of them, and in grocery stores, and convenient stores, etc. You may be able to get it quicker than through Amazon.
