Wow, I know exactly what you're talking about. As a result of a thyroid problem, my skin is very, very dry and flakey - and sometimes itches alot.
Itching is tough to deal with. The scratching makes skin problems worse, but, when you're itching, it's very tough to just not scratch. Especially since scratching feels so good. I have had pretty good success with Gold Bond products. Gold Bond products really diminish itching sensations, so you don't want to scratch.
Alot of times though, eczema problems, and just skin problems in general, really need to be treated by a good dermatologist. I know I'll be making an appointment for one soon, because this itching drives me crazy sometimes.
Good luck with your skin problem.

Cut your nails short and when you cant prevent yourself from scratching , just rub over them with your palms not your fingers. When at home, try soothing the itch with ice cubes or anything cold.

Cut ur nails or wear leggings. You can also wear pantyhose or tights under ur jeans so that when u go to scratch, you'll find that you can't.
