Here are some suggestions for Itch and or Dry Skin Relief. Some of
these suggestions are from other members, as I've not used all of
these suggestions.
Warm to hot water bath until your tolerance, using some Dead Sea
Salt and Epsom Salt (It might sting if you have any open wounds, but
after such a bath, your skin will be softer, smoother,and itch
relieved)
Follow the bath with some Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion with
Natural Colloidal Oatmeal. This also helps with itching.

Long Term Itch Relief: The above suggestions should provide
temporary itch and or dry skin relief. For long term itch relief,
eliminate allergic foods and inflammatory foods. Common allergic
foods include, but not limited to the following: sugar, corn, wheat,
oat, egg, cow's milk, chocolate, soy, citrus fruits, and peanuts.
Sugar, corn, and eggs are almost ubiquitous in processed foods, so I
avoid processed foods as much as possible. Other additional allergic
foods may vary with different people. The most common inflammatory
foods include but not limited to the following: All processed foods,
sugar, wheat, soda, deep fried foods, alcohol, and dairy. Other
additional inflammatory foods may vary with different individuals.
Keep a food journal so you can track which foods are allergic and
inflammatory for you, besides the common suspects I've listed. Good
Luck!
