the counter products and have also tried some suggested home remedies. In the past I have even gone to the Dr and was given a shot and some other meds. Perhaps some could suggest an alternative remedy. I just want to stop the itching! THANKS!

Use dishwashing soap to eliminate the oils on your skin. My husband did it and it took the itch away.

Aveeno oatmeal baths may provide temporay relief. Also making a paste of baking soda and water and placing it on the affected area or using witch hazel may also be helpful.

It will burn some especially on the open areas, but clorox dabbed on the infected spots with a cotton ball will dry it up quicker than most otc stuff.

Try drinking red clover tea and taking baths in baking soda in cool water.

An old man told me to wet down the area with old coffee. I know it sounds dumb but something to do with the caffine really works on most people. Try it . What can you lose? It worked on my husband.
