Dr Andrew Weil suggested what intuition did as a kid.
HE says when it is bad, and itching crazy, after it has already become a rash:
Expose the affected area to hot running water, as hot as can stand it.
You'll experience a skin-gasm that will feel so satisfying yet itch like
crazy for just a moment. What you are doing is overloading the nerves
sending the 'itch' message to the brain. The relief will last many hours
after the hot water, and scrathcing will not be a temptation at all. When
it starts up again, go back to the hot water. With repeated and
conscientous hot water application it was maybe 2 showers a day or 3 when
worst), the nerves will exhaust themselves and the healing cycle will finish
sooner.
