    Hi
    It seems you are into severe dry skin problem.your Body moisture had been fully dried up.
    Its better to consult a dermatologist.
    Before that try using this medicated Moisturex cream, recommended by my Doc.

    [​IMG]

    For the first time apply in lot for several times.Itching will be arrested immediately.avoid extremely hot showers, abrasive soaps, and skin products which contain alcohol and other drying agents.

    Here are few remedies for itchy skin.
    1)Raw Oatmeal helps in Treating Itching Put 2 cups of Oatmeal in the Bathtub, before bathing it.

    2)Take honey and cinnamon powder in equal proportions. Make a fine paste out and apply this on the affected area. This would stop itching.

    3)Add a cup of white vinegar in the bath tub filled with water. Soak the body for 5 to 10 minutes.
    4) Apply a light paste of coconut oil and limejuice on the affected area. This is a good remedy to cure itching.

    5)Mix some baking soda with water. Make a paste and apply this on the affected area.

    6)Neem is very useful in treating itchiness. Boil some neem leaves and pour the decoction in the boiling water. Applying neem oil on the affected area is also helpful

    As u are in USA, it could be For.Two reasons

    1. Dry weather in winters , use moisturizers for whole body, immediately after shower and wiping with a towel, it locks moisture . Without it you can't keep your skin healthy, I use aveeno body lotion, which is very good.

    one more thing u can use oil while taking bath, that oil protects your skin.

    even in summers, we use air conditions , so it makes air dry in our homes and offices, so use light moisturizer in summers too.

    2. Because of allergies, your skin may be itchy. It can be due to eczema, common problem in USA. If above thing like applying moisturizer or oil after every shower is not giving results u can see primary health care provider, to see if it is due to allergies.
