Hello,
I have gone through your complaints and would recommend you to apply topical steroid like hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Chlorpheniramine once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
