My hematologist has me take 2 - 20 mg Pepcid tablets each day. They help with Rosacea on my face from treatments. You might ask your doctor if this is something that would help with your itching. Evidently, Pepcid helps with allergens by blocking histamines. Hope you get some relief soon. Skin issues and itching are tough to deal with. Take care.♥️
