Treatment of Itchiness

The treatment of itchiness depends on the underlying cause. If the cause is an allergy, avoiding the allergen can help. If the cause is an infection, topical or oral medications may be prescribed. For skin conditions, medications such as topical creams or ointments may be prescribed. For dry skin, moisturizers can help. Stress reduction techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep-breathing exercises can also help reduce itchiness.
