- 1). Have Benadryl handy in case of itching under your cast. Taking this over-the-counter medication may help relieve the itching.
- 2). Turn a hairdryer on the cool setting. Point the hairdryer down at the cast so that the cool air flows into the cast. If you keep the hairdryer trained on the cast for some time it may relieve the itching.
- 3). Shake talcum powder around the edge of the cast and use the hairdryer to blow it underneath the cast surface; the talcum will help reduce itching. Or use an itch-relief spray like Castblast that basically does the same thing.
