Dry skin is a particularly common cause of itching without a rash, especially as we get older.
Sometimes people have dry skin due to an underlying medical condition, such as an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) or Sjogren's syndrome (a disease that typically causes arthritis, dry eyes, and dry mouth).
I suggest you to stay hydrated if it persists check the thyroid function.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
