Hello,
To overcome itching what you are experiencing, you can take antihistaminic medication containing Levocetirizine once a day. Kindly continue with the cream and other medications what has been prescribed by your dermatologist. Gradually, you should be able to get better and be back to normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
