I used gauze and tape on my arms when the oozing and weeping got especially bad, and it helped a whole lot. Just change the dressing frequently and let it air out occasionally. I also used Solarcaine which seemed to ease the itching and dry the oozing a little faster. Other than that, I think you just have to let it run its course and try not to scratch! Benadryl will probably help you sleep at night, too.
