Is there any remedies for itchy skin that works/no rash?

My grandmother has had an itchy back for weeks and nothing is working? She has tried alcohol, peroxide, an oatmeal bath, cetaphil lotion, epsom salt, and coco butter and nothing has worked. Any suggestions, over the counter or medication?Thanks.

Try some sunburn lotion. I know it says it's for sunburn but it helps with itch too. The kind I use is Ocean Potion. It has lidocane and aloe. (lidocane is what you get at the dentist)


It really helps to calm the itch a lot. It's approx $4.00 a bottle. I get it at Wal Mart if there is one near you.
Reply:Have you tried the Aveeno Anti-Itch lotion?
Reply:go to a pharmacy and ask they can help you if it is not a doctor.
Reply:I know! I have that same problem and nothing seems to work.she needs willpower to not itch it and also,try rubbing some ice on the parts that are itching.it will cool it down...and if she can rub an actual ice on it,then try putting an ice pack wrapped in a small towel and compressing it to the areas of itching.
Reply:trya baking soda bath or even pastign on bakingsoda onthe itching areas .


good luck

Reply:why is her back itchy? does she have dry skin? maybe she should exfoliate and then use some plain old baby oil.
Reply:She is probably not getting enough omega 3 oils in her diet. And then she can try the herb marshmallow to help retain moisture within, especially useful after menopause.





An excellent external topical treatment for dry skin is Emu oil. It penetrates very deeply into the skin. You would mix that in with a carrier lotion or oil. That is also really great for dry cracked feet, or sunburn. It also has healing, non-inflammatory properties (for rash's).
