Hi, I to suffer from (4-5 years) Neuropathic itch. My main line of defense is "Guided Meditation", or ice cold shower. The meditation knocks me to sleep in a couple of minutes, the "cold water’ (not pleasant) gives me relief up to 24 hours + or -,. As far as lotions go the best OTC I’ve found is Sarna (.5% Camphor, .5% Menthol). I was prescribed Naltrexone by my dermatologist, it absolutely worked 100%. No Itching anywhere, it was actually unnerving, but sadly relief only lasted about 30 days, I tried it again, but no luck. The totality of what is known about "itching, skin disorders is only matched by what’s Not Known". Conclusion it’s a three ring circus, nerve impingement begets, itching which begets stress disorder, "they simply feed of each other.
