Detailed Answer:
Hello
I had gone through your question very diligently and I really appreciate your concern
Here I would like further information like
relevant medical history your weight, height or history of diabetes or other metabolic disease
Are you having any kind of rashes during itching
Have you seen any doctor or tried self medication?
In my opinion you should apply calamine lotion and try to identify any trigger for this itching
Drugs you are taking for cholesterol might be related to skin problems, so I would advise you to consult your doctor for dose adjustment or switching over to other drugs.
Please write back to me with these details so that I will be able to tell you more precisely
Best wishes
