Your skin is probably very dry.
My skin gets so dry too---I itch on my legs, arms, back...the skin around my nails crack, they are quite painful.
Drink enough water and have a humidifier on.

I use Udderly Smooth cream. Lists only 4 things in its ingredients. Doesn't feel greasy.

Answer 3

sounds like it could be a medical problem that requires a consultation with dermatologist or it could just be dry to the humidity. Try this: After each shower, lightly pat dry with towel, then put on baby oil. These keeps the moisture on your skin. good luck!
