Itch-X is used to temporarily relieve itching and discomfort associated with minor skin irritations, including insect bites, poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, sunburn, and minor skin rashes.

Itch-X contains pramoxine hydrochloride, a local anesthetic that works by temporarily numbing the skin and blocking nerve signals in the affected area, providing rapid relief from itching and irritation.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and broken or blistered skin. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist for more than 7 days or worsen. Keep out of reach of children.
