This may sound strange but we found that when we rubbed Preparation H on it eased the pain. You just have to be really careful if it's on your face not to get it near your eyes, but it does work.
When my Mom had it on her face it ran from her hairline through her eye and down onto her nose. For her the itching was the worst. I gave her some Eucerin Cream and it helped her a lot. :)
