Comment on how do I stop itching?

This is going to sound unhelpful, but the trick is just don’t itch. You have to rewire the part of your brain saying that scratching is how you make it itch less, and convince yourself that it’s the opposite–noticing the itch and not touching it is how you’ll make it go away. It’s a bit like getting into an ice cold pool, feeling all your muscles tense up and your breathing gets tight, and telling yourself that staying in is how you’ll get used to it. Fake it til you make it, then your brain will start to believe you.

Actually really helpful. Thank you. I am typically really good with self control. However, in this case I have proven to have none.
Thanks for taking the time.

take oral antihistamines(diphenhydramine, ceterezine, fexofenadine,etc), way more effective than the cream. if its through allergies, use this. also you might want to check for allergy tests. if it becomes persistant rash might want to see a doctor in case its a chronic thing.
