Advice please: I have varicose eczema in my right leg .......?

Can anyone advise me on what I can use to stop the incessant itching. My GP gave me some hydrocortisone cream but it's not helping, I've also tried E45 itch relief cream. It isn't too bad in the cold weather but with the heat we are experiencing now, it's driving me mad .. Thank you

    Ask your doctor about lidocaine ointment. I had the same problem for years but it went away after my doctor prescribed it for me.

    People try many treatments for eczema to relieve the itch. They use over-the-counter remedies they can get in a drugstore. They will use prescription medications they comes from their doctors. These people even try an alternative eczema treatment, such as herbs. Learn here https://tr.im/pXIpW

    Still, one research found that many people aren't satisfied with the effectiveness of their medications.
