Hi, thanks for your query. For dry itchy skin you may do as follows: -use a oat meal based cleanser for bathing. -bath with luke warm water instead of hot water. -apply a good emollient cream containing shea butter or olive oil after bath and repeat it twice or thrice as required. -avoid scratching as it initiates scratch-itch cycle which increases the intensity of itching. Take oral anti hisatmine like fexofenadine or levocetrizine by prescription. -Drink about 2-3 litres of water per day. -You may use a calamine lotion or over the more itchy areas as it gives a soothing effect. Hope this helps you.
