What I can advise for the itching is the following; I use an Epsom salt based soap- I use Dr. Teal's, Eucalyptus scented, I've been able to purchase this product from amazon as well as at my local Walmart.

Its cools the boils, cysts, lesions, etc and provides some relief.
Hope this helps! Hot baths with Epsom Salt also provides relief but refrain from using bubble baths and what not since scented soats often irritate.
