this is a popular question that i get at the pharmacy. typically the topical hydrocortisone products are very effective to use as long as the skin isn't broken or bleeding. if the itching is really bothersome an antihistamine like benadryl or zyrtec may be appropriate as well. be sure to have your medication list handy when you are talking to the pharmacist and let us know any other over-the-counter products you may have tried already too so we can help make the best decision.
i have contact dermatitis. is there an over-the-counter ointment that i could buy to help heal this up?
