I found peppermint oil gave temporary relief. I was able to go back to sleep for the night.
One night I asked the subconscious for a clue and in the morning I was made to understand that my skin needed more sunlight exposure.
It's been nearly -40C for the last two weeks here so sunbathing was out of the question.
I do, however have a UV lamp I had recently purchased.
I did 2 five minute full body exposures three days apart.
The itching has totally disappeared.
Comfortable in my skin once again.
I'm posting this because I would never have thought of this solution on my own.
