I'm sooo sorry your going through this! I wish I could give you a definitive answer to help you, you seem to be doing all the right things. Depending on how bad it is,
have you tried the hair dryer to stop the itch temporarily. It worked for me but mine wasn't as inflamed as yours is
I used to cry because the itch was so strong and my steroid
cream wasnt working anymore and i was using tons! The chinese herbs I
took were a GODSEND. I was scratching and itching and it was like a miracle that they went away. NOTHING else was working.
The dry heat can sometimes bring it on for me.
I also could only wear cotton clothes loosely and natural hair and soap products.
