I get the itch too, especially when the warmer weather starts up. I used to get it only in one or two spots, but I get it in several more now.

Hydrocortisone 1% cream helps sometimes. A $ store freezer pack does too (but 8 of them on the various spots can be unrealistic ). I've even been known to pinch or slap the spot, just to confuse my brain.

The best thing, when you have lots of those neurological itches going on is to use Benadryl of Zyrtec. Maybe there are better antihistimines available for that (that don't cause drowsiness), but I haven't found Claritin or the usual a/h's helpful that way. Benadryl works every time.
