I once visited my dermatologist after many, many visits and expensive creams he prescribed, all with no relief. He looked at me and said "whatever you've been doing, keep doing it, it's working". I had been using tea tree oil for the rash and chlor - tripolon antihistamine syrup for the itch. This was years before it was no longer available in Canada.
