        The itching lasted about two and a half years. During that time I made a solution of 1/4 cup baking soda, 1/2 cup oatmeal ground up, and 3 tablespoons of olive oil diluted with warm water. Pour into bathtub of water and sit in for about 20 minutes. Use washcloth to bath any parts of the body that is not covered in the bathtub. His doctor also prescribed augmented betamethasone ointment. That was the only thing that relieved his itching. Hope this helps.
