thank you for Q on HCM
Itchiness is related to possible skin allergy / inflammation
I suggest you continue with anti histamine orally & also apply very low strength cortisone based cream if it is available from chemist directly without script ( depending on country you reside)
If it doesn't settle then it will need to be looked at by Dr
Hope this helps
