i found these two different pages both saying that actual itching powder was used in the itching scene of carry on girls
from this page:
thefreelibrary.com/CARRY+ON+GIRLS+(..or+whatever+happened+to+the+buxom+beauties+who,...-a0109605185
Obviously, the props people must have used the real thing, because poor Barbara Windsor and I had to go to the nurse with a terrible rash. Who would have thought that they'd using real itching powder!
and this one:
themoviehub.info/2010/03/15/carry-on-girls-1973/
Trivia: Angela Grant was one of several girls to come out in a rash after being sprinkled with soil and itching powder in the beauty pageant finale.
this is a cut up version of the itching girls if you haven't seen it
