It is likely associated with an allergy or sensitivity. Have you changed diet or soap (hand and body or laundry soap) recently?
Try and rule things out that way. This is a longer term approach to keep it from coming back.
If it is an allergic rash, then antihistamines will take the itch away.
You can also use steroid creams to cut the itch.
If you can't use that, then a good urea cream will help moisturize the area. Be warned that if the skin is too broken, you won't be worrying about the itch because it will burn.

Is it a dry rash? Try hydrocortisone cream/ointments. Eucerin aquaphor if it's dry. See a doctor if no improvement in a week. Do you know the source of what's causing it??

Don't scratch it if you ever want it to go away! Aloe or something like it can help. Just keep you hands away. If it's really bad, see a doctor ASAP!
