Treatment for itching is directed at the cause. Also, treating dry skin can relieve itching, regardless of the cause. Many drugs used to treat itching in younger people (such as antihistamines) can have serious side effects in older people. If symptoms remain bothersome despite treatment, exposing the affected skin to certain types of light (phototherapy) may help.
A person's outlook depends on the disorder that is causing itching. Many of these disorders can be cured. Sometimes itching resolves on its own.
Once one has eliminated disorders such as Eczema, psoriasis, systematic disease or fungal skin issues, it is time to use topical ointments. Itch Witch® from Healing Leaf LLC is a blend of rich oils, healing herbs and botanicals long known to sooth itching.
CAUTION: Do NOT use Itch Witch® in genital areas. Because it has menthol in it, Itch Witch® can cause severe stinging in mucus membrane areas of the body.
