Sorry I took so long in replying, I got back from work last night about 8.30 in the evening. Anyway, to relieve the itching I'd highly recommend detoxified iodine, the best quality you can find. Further still, invite health's amino acid L-lysine is fantastic. Both products work from the inside out in addressing the cause. Again, I'm not a dr., so please run everything I say by a professional first, but from a natural, holistic perspective those would be my recommendations.
