Cold Compress
Cold compress, also known as ice compress, is a common home remedy for inflammation. It gives temporary relief from itchiness and can improve the flow of blood in the inflamed spots. Wrap an icepack in a soft towel and place it on the affected spot for up to twenty minutes straight. Wait for at least thirty minutes before reapplying, and you’ll experience significant relief.
Cold compress helps to numb the affected area, which can reduce pain and tenderness. Do not overdo it. If you have started bleeding because of excessive itching, it is best not to place ice on the affected skin for too long. Leaving it longer than the required time can cause tissue damage and frostbite.
