Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Applying baby oil 2-3 times daily will prevent as well give relief from dry skin and itching.
Do not use steroid ointment unless prescribed by a dermotologist.
Piritone syrup may give symptomatic relief.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
