Question: i have itching like carzy and using cortizone cream the only thing i get relief from is taking benadryl but it makes me fall asleep, i have 2 ques. one is how long should something like this last the itching is so severe its just miserable, is it normal to last over a week or so? second question is the benadry that makes me fall asleep does at least stop the itching temporarily, but i see they have one that says it wont cause drowsiness, now does anyone know it this one would still stop the itching? Because my friend said they have have differnt ingredients and the non drowsy one may not help the itching..i appreciate any suggestions at all-any thing else that may get rid of this-i havent went to dr because have no ins-and cant affors it till payday-thanks
Answer: You can use Benadryl for nighttime itching, and try Claritin for the daytime. If the rash came out of nowhere, would consider it an allergic reaction. Have you used a new soap or laundry det. or skin lotion?? Try washing skin with Dove for sensitive skin, try moisturize with light coating of Vaseline, and keep trying the hydrocortisone. Hope it gets better
