How To Treat Severe Incontinence?

I have severe incontinence -- since approx 2005. I have now developed severe external itching -- it is making me crazy! It used to be that a little aloe Vera lotion would quiet it, but no more. I ve tried BALMEX, GOLD BOND MEDICATED POWDER, other lotions, and even just plain cornstarch ( which is the best of all above) but nothing lasts for long. This is the most intensive itch I ve ever experienced. I change the pads as soon as they become damp. Is there anything Thant can clear this up?
