Best thing you can do to help your kidney function is to get your blood sugars down to normal (ie. 80-120 range, or as close to this as you can safely manage).

I don't know of any OTC meds to helps.  Maybe a good moisturizer will help a little.  You can also ask the pharmacist to recommend.

You can also ask the pharmacist about alternative meds to ramopril if this is what you are reacting to.
