What to do for SEVERELY itchy, dry skin?
Everyday, I use shower lotion all over my whole body, then I get out and put super dry skin lotion on my whole body again. I also use dry scalp shampoo. But I am still so itchy everywhere that sometimes I can’t sleep at night.
I don’t think I have psoriasis or eczema because I don’t have any rashes or other blemishes. I m allergic to wool but I don’t wear or touch it. Other than that I am just allergic to a lot of medications but I stay away from them. Not laundry soap because I have used the same one for forever and it’s never made me itch before. I don’t wear itchy clothes.
I did have a breast reduction about a month ago, but I don’t itch there. In fact, the scars are healing nicely.
I’ve always been itchy and dry in winter but I could put lotion on every day and it would stop. Now it doesn’t work! Help!

I don't know what shower lotion is, I have to say.
It sounds like you might be having a reaction to something, and maybe you need to be hydrating your body by drinking lots more water also.
If you are using hot water, change it to tepid. If you are showering for longer than five minutes, cut it down to five minutes.
You might also try a dose of Benadryl, or an OTC antihistamine, which can help relieve the itching.
