Dear Irene, I wonder if prickly heat powder (like talcum powder) would ease your itching. We lived overseas (Malaysia) when I was younger and everybody got prickly heat including my husband (he was a diver).
We were never without Snake Brand prickly heat powder - it has taken me all day to remember what it was called. I used it when I was menopausal. I checked and they have it on the big river. They have different scents now, but we had the classic original which had a nice scent, not overpowering. The divers were never without it. May be worth a try.
Also, remember S*docrem that you used when changing babies nappies? It has some effect on the itching too.
Hope this helps.
