How to relieve severe itchy skin.?

I am still working on this one myself- aveno oat meal baths, reguarly use a healing mosturizer (I like curel ultra healing extra strength skin hydrator) the key is to put it on before the itching starts- Ive been told not to use cortizone too much because it thins the skin- benadryl gel can be helpful- store it in the fridge so that its cold when it goes on- sarna anti-itch cream SOMETIMES helps- I also find it helpful sometimes to either apply an ice pack or wrap it in an ace bandage- Ive also been told to "pat dry" when getting out of shower/bath- avoid scratching at all costs- BELIEVE ME I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT THIS IS!!

How to relieve severe itchy skin.?
