My grandmother complains of increased itching at night time mostly below groin and sometimes at upper parts. When she consulted doctor previously he prescribed her calamine lotion to be used at time of itching and derma dew shower gel after bath. Even after application, she is relieved for some time and itching starts again. Is there any other remedy for this?
