I tried everything for the itching until I found spray on Benedryl. Take a shower, spray it all over, a light dusting of corn starch baby powder and you're good to go for the day. I too had horrible nose bleeds that left me hanging over the laundry sink for hours waiting for it to stop, I even fell asleep there once or twice. It went on for a year and a half until I found an ENT that cauterized the inside of my nostrils. No more nose bleeds. I used to leave the house with a change of clothes, towels, wet washclothes in case they happened while out. I was also told to only use Afrin regular nasel spray as anything else will make it worse. It's been seven years since the cauterization and no nosebleeds since.
