Hi,
It may be keratosis pilaris along with xerosis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Apply moisturizer cream like liq Paraffin cream on the itchy areas. Take anti-histaminics like Cetirizine daily. Take vitamin A and vitamin E capsules daily. Avoid soap bath.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
