<s>[INST] How can itch be controlled? [/INST] The following actions may reduce itch, to help control the scratch and itch cycle of eczema:

Keep skin well moisturised every day.
Use cold compresses and wet dressings/wraps, as directed.
Consider using non-sedating antihistamines, especially if there are hives (urticaria). Sedating antihistamines are generally not recommended and should not be used in young children without specialist supervision. Source: ASCIA.
