Suggest Topical Medication For Itching Due To Infestation Of Chiggers

My name is Lois. I have had a severe infestation of Chiggers from clearing land for my chickens. i saw an Urgent Care yesterday. Got a Solumedrol shot and Prednisone dose pack, along with Phenergan to help with itching and to sleep, because I can t sleep at all due to the itching. Is there anything topical that I can use? I was up all night with no relief again.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

A topical anti steroid cream and cream for itching such as calamine lotion may help when added to the other medications that you are using at the moment.

These would be available over the counter at your local pharmacy

I hope this helps
