Can anyone help me.

Im currently at wits end here with what ive read online to be "hells itch" (a sunburn that feels as if youre being bitten by red ants).

Is there any long lasting remedy for this.

So far ive tried. Hydrocortisone cream (worked for an hour)

Ibuprofen (no effect)

Piriton(no effect)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated as im currently wide awake resisting all temptation to scratch this burning nightmare.

Thanks

John
