Detailed Answer:

Hi,

There are a few things you can do to try to relieve the itching:
* Apply a cool compress to the area.
* Take an over-the-counter antihistamine, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
* Use a calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation.

Avoid scratching the area, as this can make the itching worse and may lead to infection. Meanwhile get few blood tests done like
Complete blood count.

I hope your query is clear now. Thank you.
