HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such itching could be emotional stress mediated and in my opinion better to continue "Tab Hydroxyzine 10 mg" three times in day, you need to continue it for long time, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
