Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You might be suffering from pruritus. According to me, you must undergo some laboratory tests to rule out any systemic disease that can cause itching. Please check your liver and renal function tests. For symptomatic relief, you can take Hydroxyzine tablets and if your skin is dry, go for emollient lotion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
