    What worked for me ....
    T-gel (unpleasant smell), by Neutrogena.

    Strength, Courage and HOPE for a Cure.

    I used calamine lotion. Can still remember the stinky smell. I also put vitamin E oil on my head. When you are feeling desperate for some relief a benadryl might help.

    I also used the Neutrogena T-Gel. It has a touch of menthol in and was very soothing. These are all excellent ideas, hope u find one that works.
