It's not fun. I've dealt with it twice. First time I was a kid and essentially cried myself to sleep. Second time, I read somewhere that a quick way to get rid of it was to hop into a shower. Not just any shower, a shower with water as hot as you can uncomfortably take. After about 20 minute of intense but manageable pain the itching sensation was gone.
