There are many allergy medicines that can help with itchy skin, and the best one for you will depend on the cause of your itch and your individual needs. Common antihistamines that are effective for itchy skin include cetirizine (Zyrtec), fexofenadine (Allegra), loratadine (Claritin), and levocetirizine (Curist).
These medications can reduce itching by blocking histamine, a chemical that your body releases when it's exposed to allergens.
If your itching is particularly bad at night, you may consider taking diphenhydramine (Benadryl), a first-generation antihistamine that can induce drowsiness to help you sleep.
In addition to oral antihistamines, topical corticosteroids can also be effective for relieving itchy skin reactions.
It's important to talk to your doctor to determine the best allergy medicine for you, as they can assess your individual needs and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
