Allergic reaction

I've had an allergic reaction to some soap I used. I'm not able to see a doctor till tomorrow. Any idea how I can soothe the itching? I've tried Calamine Lotion which hasn't worked and my dad is out getting me some anti histimines.

    Something with hydrocortisone. Such as Cortaid by Johnson & Johnson if you have that.

    antihistamines will bring it down in a few hours unless severe (ask him to get this cream also as is very good for allergic reactions as well as bites/stingsph014.jpg other than that keep it cool and it will most probably go down on it's own (all the normal though if you feel tightness of the throat/hard to breathe go to A&E)
    Luckily i haven't had any series reactions. I've got some of that cream and it seems be to be fine so far.
