What Causes Dry Patches On Legs, Back, Forearms And Hands?

I have sever dry skin patches. mostly on my lower legs, some on my lower back, forearms and hands. My throat feels scratchy, almost like I have something in my throat when I swallow. Not painful, just annoying. I am very tired, regardless of amount of sleep.
