You're not washing all the dead skin away. I get this on my ankles, where I don't scrub enough, and sometimes itchy too. Get a loofah or just scrub hard with your washcloth, and keep it up for a while and soon all the dead skin will be washed away. I assume you shower every day, right?

i had a similar problem, try Baby Oil Gel, not necessarily Johnson & Johnson, an offbrand would work, but at the END of your bath/shower rub it all over. It will eliminate the need for lotion, unless you use your lotion for the scent, and keep you moisturized until your next shower.

It is dry skin. Keep your skin moisturized all the time. If you continue to have the itchy skin, call your Dr. They have medicine for that and it does work. It will go away, but it is just irritating.

it's either dry skin, which you can use those gloves that have a rough texture, you can find in beauty department with bath stuff, also use a lotion while skin is still damp, don't rub your skin, pat it dry, and make sure you are rinsing all the soap off!

It could be your soap. It also could be your thyroid. It can cause dry skin and itching. Go to a Dr. and get your levels checked.

YOU NEED TO START WASHING YOURSELF WITH A LOOFA WHEN YOU SHOWER. THE LITTLE SHAVINGS ARE DEAD SKIN AND THE LOOFA WILL REMOVE ANY DEAD SKIN -MAKE SURE YOU USE IT CORRECTLY-YOU MOVE IN AROUND IN CIRCLES NOT BACK AND FORTH-IT KINDA HURTS WITH A BRAND NEW LOOFA BUT GETS BETTER THE MORE YOU USE IT.

This may be either excessive dry skin or psoriasis.
