For a week, take 2 capsules (50mg) of diphenhydramine before going to bed. It not only stops the itching but makes you very drowsy so you get a good sleep which promotes healing.
Diphenhydramine is the main ingredient in Benadryl---but look for the generic equivalent "Allergy Medicine" as it is considerably cheaper.
