Hi everyone, I did not find any mentions of this online, so I just wanted to put it out there. My family has been doing this for the past 5+ years and it works every time.

You don’t need any fancy creams, just go to your local corner shop and buy Antiseptic Liquid Dettol for like $5, apply it on the area and it will stop itching within 10 minutes. You can use the same bottle 50+ times, so it’s not a one off thing.

They sell Dettol everywhere in the world just so you know.

Edit: ice/spoon methods are temporary

Edit 2: if you can’t buy Dettol in your country, try with another Antiseptic liquid, they all do the same thing
