The method preferably comprises topically applying to the affected area the composition which contains an abrasive ingredient and an anti-itch enzyme, both of which are dispersed in a carrier containing effective amounts of emulsifiers, and/or dispersants and may take the form of a powder, liquid, or paste. The final pharmaceutical composition is preferably made in the form of a cream or lotion so that it can be rubbed directly on the skin at the affected site.
