Best Answer
My husband had a terrible itch reaction to the ribavirin part of treatment, and he broke out in terrible rashes. Not everyone has open sores, but my husband's skin reaction being rather severe his doctor prescribed Atarax (aka hydroxyzine) which helped a great deal. Many people suggest drinking more water and keeping the skin hydrated with lotions also helps minimizes the itch. Hope that helps.
