Oh the dreaded itch that comes with wounds! You can remedy this by buying standard Benadryl tablets (you want the pink ones!) and crushing them up into a fine powder. Take the powder and add a minute amount of water (one teaspoon of powder to 1/4 teaspoon water). It should form a pink watery paste or be completely liquid (either or depending on how much water you added). Take a cotton ball and dip it in the benadryl and rub it on the area that itches.
Within 5-10 minutes the itching will be gone. Because you've absorbed such a small amount of Diphenhydramine, you should not get tired.
