What over the counter medicines are good for a behind the knee itch?

Answer by  Ashley68 (404)

For behind the knee itch, use Cortisone cream and Claritin, if there are hives present. This itch is usually an allergic reaction to some sort of lotion or product you used on your skin. Suspend use of daily products and try to figure out which one is causing issues.

Consider using a topical cream that contains diphenhydramine (such as Benadryl) or cortisone cream. These medicines often help to relieve itching associated with dryness or skin irritation. Alternatively, you can try applying a small amount of liquid such as witch hazel to help relieve the itching.

There are anti-itch medications that you can purchase over the counter for itching. They come in lotions or roll-ons that will make the area stop itching. Most local stores have these kind of medicines, but if you're looking for something more advanced look at a Store that specializes in pharmacy.

I would recommend using benedryl allery medicine. It usually relieves any type of itching, but one side affect to this medicine is it usually has the tendency to make you drowsy, so make sure that you use it with caution.
