sounds like an allergic reaction....
try using benadryl cream or hydrocortisone cream to the affected area.
wash it first with warm water and mild soap (ivory or dove). nothing with perfume or dyes in it-this can make it itch worse.
you can also take oral benadryl tablets. take 1-2 of the 25mg tablets every 4-6 hours but no more than 4 doses in 24 hours. this will help stop the itching and help you sleep

Sounds like an allergic reaction. If you're not allergic to diphenhydramine (Benadryl), take 1 or 2 tablets by mouth--they will help the itching and also make you sleepy.

chances are you got hold of poison ivy. There is also poison oak, and sumac. It itches like crazy, and the more you scratch the more it spreads. The rash looks bubbly and you spread the liquid in the rash by scratching. To stop the itch try Rhulicream (spelling?). Also try good old fashioned Calamine lotion. If no relief in a couple days, see a doctor, cause this can get infected. Please don't scratch.....

Take some Benadryl (diphenhydramine hydrochloride) for the itchies. Use a cortisone ointment for your skin. Bathe. (Aveno works well - oatmeal neutralise's histamines.)

You may have allergy. Take anti-allergy medicine and not brandy. A lot of sinus medicines are available. These usually contain anti-histamines. Actifed can be tried. Chlorphenramine may be taken
