Itch-Soothe® is used for the treatment of various forms of pruritis (itching), including itching associated with allergies, chicken pox (where the skin is unbroken) and itchiness due to insect bites and stings.
By relieving itching, Itch-Soothe® prevents itchiness and breaking of the skin caused by scratching and therefore reduces the risk of secondary infection. Itch-Soothe® may also be used for the treatment of scabies (infestation of the skin by mites).
Directions
Rub gently into the itchy area 2-3 times daily or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. See pack insert for further instructions.
