The strongest oral antihistamine is Benadryl in 50mg dosage. Some itches respond best to Atarax or Zyrtec which are other prescription antihistamines. The strongest OTC cortisone cream you can buy is 1% hydrocortisone. Whole body application of topical corticosteroids is not recommended unless your itching is due to certain types of cutaneous lymphoma. With an RX from your Dr you can buy much stronger topical corticosteroids but topical corticosteroids applied for long periods of time on large areas of skin increases the danger of potential corticosteroid-induced HPA axis suppression or Cushing's disease.





If you see a Dr about your itching then you can also find out a reason as to why you are itching. If the first Dr you see can't help with your itching then see a dermatologist. Pruritus (itching) is a difficult and often complex issue to treat so sometimes trial and error is necessary. My right ear canal itched almost constantly for five years until it was finally suggested to me that I try applying capsaicin ointment to the spot that itched. Here is a good article on the many treatments available for itching.

Itching all over? I guess an antihistamine should've helped if it were an allergic reaction. If it's not working, then I'd go back to the doctor, or talk to a pharmacist / chemist.





I doubt it's a great idea to apply a strong cream over your whole body without a doctor's approval -- with skin being the body's biggest organ, and able to absorb what's applied to it, you have to be cautious with large doses.





Also, itching can be a symptom of other non-allergy problems (like thyroid problems, just to name one). It's worth getting it checked out if current antihistamines aren't helping.





good luck
