You can try regular Benadryl (diphenhydramine) no additives at 1 mg per pound of body weight every 12 hours.
This otc therapy is just for symptom relief, but you should contact your vet to diagnose the underlying problem and treat it appropriately. Uncontrolled itching can cause skin infections, ear infections, and discomfort for your pet.
Benadryl is ~50% effective for itching.
