If you are looking for an over-the-counter remedy, I've had good results with hydro-cortisone cream. Make sure that it is 1% hydro-cortisone - the weaker .05% version did not work for me. Prior to applying it, take a warm oatmeal bath: grind up some ordinary oatmeal in a blender until very powdery and sprinkle it into the water.
