Thank you Janice. I’ve tried steroid creams (3 different ones.) I’m bathing with Cetaphil soap and using CereVe anti- itch crème. It was almost gone and then comes back. I’ll try the Aveeno products.

HI Terri. If you look around here you'll find lots of posts about how people deal with itching. For me, Aveeno anti-itch cream and moisturizing shower products work best.

NY Biology has a tea tree shower gel that often helps.

I’ve also used Max Strength Cortisone cream for sensitive skin.

And when unstoppable itchy I use a hair dryer on hot to blast away the itch. Lol. And it works great.
