Skin itchiness is one of the worst irritating diseases. It causes discomfort and often, it can be painful as well. It is best to treat it as soon as possible.

The first way to tackle this is by knowing which itchy skin symptoms you have. Your itchy skin symptoms may include blisters, redness, white flaky skin or simply dry skin. There are some other reasons why your skin is being itchy; the best way to treat it is by consulting a doctor.

• High-quality or medicinal moisturizers:  Moisturizers are the best solution for itchy skin symptoms. As the most common cause for itchy skin is dryness, moisturizers help to trap the moisture and keep your skin soft and hydrated. Be sure to use good quality moisturizers over the itchy skin or use medicinal grade moisturizers available at a drug store.
• Aloe vera gel:  Aloe vera is the best plant-based product for your skin. Even though turmeric is good as well, but nothing comes close to aloe vera. You can use the fresh gel extracted from aloe vera or buy organic aloe vera gel from a store. Apply it over the itchy areas, and you will get relief quickly.
• Oatmeal:  These aren’t just good for your health, but are great itching remedy as well. Colloidal oatmeal is made from oats that have been ground into a very fine powder. This is often used in itch-guard soaps and lotions. Or you can prepare a cool bath by dissolving the powder in your bathtub.
• Antihistamines:  Chemicals in the body like histamines are responsible for allergy-like symptoms, including itching. Antihistamines are drugs that treat this condition. These are easily available at any drug store. But have them under medical supervision.
