Hi, You seem to have xerosis..dry skin. Due to dryness,you may be having generalised pruritus. It may be exfoliative dermatitis. You may be having atopic diathesis. If you have localised thick skin having severe itching may be eczema. Multiple factors may be responsible for the disease. Stress,dry weather,internal diseases or certain allegens might be responsible. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis. Investigations may be done to rule out internal disease. Antihistaminic like levocetirizine may be taken. If needed,steroids in tappering doses may be taken. Moisturising cream and mild steroid cream may be applied. Avoid soap bath. You may use dettol for bath. I hope this would be helpful in managing your disease. Thanks. Dr. Ilyas Patel MD
