Answers:
Sounds like you may have psoriasis!. Try cortisone cream to alleviate the itchiness and stop the scaling or dry flaky skin as you described it!. The change of weather will flare up this condition, and sometimes people with psoriasis have it under control until changes in detergent or bath soaps may aggravate the skin and make the psoriasis that was dormat flare up!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you shower, start using a moisturizing body wash!. Use a body butter from body shop or lush just after the shower when your skin is damp!. As your skin is so dry, you need to use olive oil!. This would be sticky so apply it every night before going to bed!. This regimen will moisturize your skin!. Drink lots of water to keep your skin healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
