So yesterday I got bit pretty much everywhere by some sneaky thing. My dermatologist's reaction was simply "Oh god, you poor thing," when he took a look at me. I have a steroid cream to apply twice a day and it works for about 2 hours before the itch comes back. I got some Benadryl cream to supplement the steroid cream (my pharmacist cleared this as having no crazy chemical issues) and it works for about 10 minutes. I am itching everywhere in the mean time.
Right now I have a baking soda and water paste on and it soothed instantly and is helping but everything I can read about this says it will be a short fix like calamine lotion. I am also flaking baking soda everywhere. What I want to know is what other homemade remedies you have used to sooth a mean itch.

It is amazing, entirely and completely.
I used to wake up at night FURIOUSLY and TEAR-JERKINGLY itchy from a skin condition, and that always always killed it dead.
They cast a shadow like a sundial in the morning light. It was half past 10.
