Pruritus caused by skin conditions can easily be treated at home by using emollient baths and creams to relieve dry skin, natural and absorbent clothing material and bed linens such as cotton and avoiding known allergens. You are advised to use gentle soaps and detergents and avoid medicine or ointments that cause a flare-up of pruritus. Pruritus caused by internal diseases are harder to deal with at home and most often require medical treatment.
