Newbie with itchy KP

Hello everyone,

I've probably had KP all my life and was just diagnosed today at the dermatologist (who I was seeing for a skin cancer check). But I wasn't aware that KP could be itchy -- I thought I had bug bites. But it is the KP that is itchy and irritated, also because I've been scratching it on my arms and legs.

My derm didn't suggest any prescriptions -- so can anyone give me the best OTC lotions and treatments to start with?

Thanks so much,
AlexisB
