Relief for itching from herpes

[Winsor1]

I'm currently going through my first ob and the itching is unbearable. I literally woke myself up by scratching in my sleep, which I realize is only going to make things worse. I'm trying to use baking soda but I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly. Should I apply it after I shower and let it sit? During the shower and rise off?

 

Also, has anyone had any luck with 3% propolis ointment such as herstat or cold-sore fx? What about Aloe Vera cream?

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
