Controlling Eczema Itching

Antihistamines taken by mouth are often used to reduce the itching associated with eczema. Newer antihistamines, such as loratadine (Claritin, Alavert) and fexofenadine (Allegra), do not appear to be as effective in controlling itching as older antihistamines [for example, hydroxyzine (Atarax), diphenhydramine (Benadryl)]. However, the older antihistamines cause more drowsiness. Topical antihistamines such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine) are usually not recommended because they contain additives that may exacerbate the condition.
