Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Perhaps the itching and weird feeling is due to dryness/Xerosis of the skin. I suggest you to use a moisturizer, regularly, 2-3 times a day. In addition, you can take an oral antihistamine, e.g., Cetirizine tablet once every evening for a few days for symptomatic relief from itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kakkar S.
