Applying cold-pressed coconut oil or aloe vera gel gives great relief. But if the itching is very severe, please don't ignore it and consult your doctor.

I had mild itching, and the hospital staff recommended a specific calamine lotion. I'd suggest asking your doctor's assistant for a safe brand.

Vasanta Bhosale · Answer

For normal dry skin itching, applying pure coconut oil right after a bath works wonders. Keep your skin hydrated and wear loose cotton clothes.

Mild itching is fine, but please be cautious. If you have severe itching on your palms and soles, it could be a liver issue, so contact your gynac immediately.

I used to scratch like a bear against a tree! Slathering on moisturizers helped, but definitely mention it to your doctor if you can't sleep because of it.
