Lifestyle and home remedies
Home treatment might include:
- Applying compresses. Wet, cool compresses may help reduce itching.
- Taking anti-itch drugs. Over-the-counter antihistamine medications such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or loratadine (Claritin, Alavert, others) can help relieve itching.
- Applying witch hazel. Soaking the affected areas in witch hazel may speed healing.
