It's important to determine the underlying cause of your itching in order to provide an appropriate solution. However, based on the information provided, you can try taking an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily to help relieve the itching. Additionally, you can apply a soothing lotion like Calamine lotion to the affected areas to help reduce the itching sensation. If the itching persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
