calimine lotion i've heard is for poison ivy and chicken pox itching. Baking soda bath will stop itching too. And ask a pharmacist when you are at the store cause sometimes they know of products that can help you.

You're not supposed to do this, but if you're really desperate, try soaking in a tub with 1/2 cup of bleach. It will work, but it will possibly leave you more vulnerable to the allergic reaction next time you're exposed. Ivarest works somewhat. And there's a new product the drugstores sell now, a wash, that definately works, but it costs over $50.00. Good luck dear.

There are many anti-histamines available...Chlor-Trimeton and Bendadryl, and various creams, lotions and ointments containing antihistamines or prednisolone or prednizone. A natural remedy is jewel weed...just crush it over the affected area.

Best thing I have ever found is real old school soap, It covers the area to keep oxygen of it helps itching and seals the area keeps it from spreading.

If you're asking this for an adult: drinking some alcohol like beer, wine, or hard liquor. It will numb everything and make you forget about the itching.
