Poison ivy, oak and sumac are all substances that cause severe itching in all people. However, there are some substances that only cause itching in certain people who are prone to skin allergies. For example, some people may experience skin irritation when pulling weeds in the garden while others don't. Minor cuts and scrapes are also likely to itch. Regardless of the cause of itchy skin, it's important to treat the itch to avoid excessive tearing of surface skin tissue.
One of the best topical creams for ending bothersome itching is Benadryl Cream from Johnson & Johnson. This cream provides fast relief with its powerful ingredients. Insect bites, minor burns and cuts are no match for the extra-strength formula of Benadryl Cream. This antihistamine cream works by blocking histamines, which are substances released by the body during an inflammatory response.
They are what contributes to an itching sensation. The inflammatory response is a natural reaction by the body to protect itself. By blocking the histamines, Benadryl Cream is successful in reducing the symptoms of an allergic reaction before they're able to intensify. Simply apply Benadryl Cream as soon as itching starts to enjoy relief.
