The Water Cure for Itchy Skin

A simple but effective remedy for itching is water.
In cases of acute itch, wrap the affected area with a thick soft cloth. The cloth should be moistened with cool but not cold (55 to 65° F) water every 15 minutes for two hours at a time. The bandage should be left intact, keeping the cloth cold.

For the first few moments, there may be intensification of itching or pain but this will quickly subside. Use the cold compress twice daily for a week or so to see results.
