It's encouraging that you have a first-cycle rash - but the itching must be wretched. In addition to the previous suggestions, please make sure you your clothing and bedding are laundered in an fragrance-free detergent, and don't use dryer sheets. Probably won't make much difference but no need to add potential allergens to the mix.
