What Could Be The Reason For Having Itching On Wrists And Back Of Neck?

I have 3 places of itching. no reason apparent, woke up one night found myself scratching my wrist. I was told it probably is dry skin. I do not have dry skin. I have been putting all different kinds of lotion on the 3 spots and the itch will subside temporarily. I am on edge due to irratation! Both wrists and the back of my neck.

Hi dear
Welcome to the HCM.
Itching partially could be because of the dry season and some allergic phenomenon.
You can apply calamina lotion along with some oral antiallergic medicine like cetrizine once a day only.
If this do not subside even after this treatment then along with the cetrizine you can apply some mild steroidal cream like beclamethasone.
Apply coconut oil mixed with honey and glycerine in your body daily one hour before taking bath.
Hope the symptoms will subside after these measures.
Thanks
