Xerosis of skin with itching is a possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and noted your concern.
Perhaps you have dryness or Xerosis of your skin. I suggest you to use an intensive moisturizer e.g either Venusia XXXXXXX lotion or Olesoft XXXXXXX lotion, twice daily- in the morning (after bath) and in evening. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg once daily for a few days for symptomatic relief from itching
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

but why do i feel the crawling stuff on my body after my diprosalic got finished ?

Brief Answer:
i suggest you to use a moisturizer
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Extremely dry skin can cause itching/crawling like sensation. I think using a moisturizer regularly for a few days is worth a try. After all you can't use the topical steroid cream forever.
Also you must take an oral antihistamine e.g Cetrizine 10mg once daily in evening, for symptomatic relief from itchy/crawling sensation.
Take care
