Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
I suggest you to use a moisturizer, frequently. In addition I suggest you to apply a potent topical steroid e.g clobetasol propionate 0.05 % cream, twice daily for the patches. I also suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg tab once every evening for symptomatic relief from itching. These are prescription medications and I advice you to kindly talk to your local practitioner for a prescription of the same.
