the best that i can recommend is Alvasweet Itch Controller. u have to apply it quite alot at first but it really worked for us. it basically helps to sooth the itching but it can be quite costly. they have a website.
the URL is www.alva-inter.com

just to say that we had a new gelding 4 months ago who has sweet itch and we have brought a fly rug from the Derby house catologue which includes the neck cover and it only cost 40 pounds it is fantastic but only comes in one colour which is purple, also we use pure essential oil of lavinder mixed with water in a spray bottle sprayed on his mane and tail morning and night the pure aloe vera gel on top of the lavinder because the flys/midges dont like the taste of the lavinder and the aloe vera gel soothes the skin and helps the hair growth and new skin renewal. it took only 4 weeks of doing this and oakley now has about an 1nch of new tail. hope this helps. good luck marie.
