    you can buy creams that contain a local anaesthetic, so they help stop itching. Lanacaine is one, and it works wonders.

    other than that, a cold, wet flannel is your friend.

    Lanacaine's a good one, also Eurax.

    If it's so itchy, have you ever considered that it might be eczema? Show it to your pharmacist and he/she might be able to give you a steroidal cream (e.g. Eumovate, Hydrocortisone) that's better suited if that's the case.

    wouldn't surprise me if it was heat rash, given the weather atm.
