I tried Calamine. It usually works great for sunburns, heat rashes and sun allergy flare ups. Doesn't do anything for this. Solarcaine isn't available here, I don't think anything with Lidocaine is available OTC here.
But the diaper rash cream worked. It didn't work quickly, but at least it itchiness and prickling didn't wake me up during the night and it was less red in the morning. According to Google it's most likely Covid/vaccine arm. I also got it a week after my first shot. It's recommended to use steroid cream. Which isn't available OTC either, but I got it for my eczema. Now I put on the eczema cream twice a day and when that has absorbed I put on the zinc cream.
