Hello Alan and welcome.
Dengue fever involves the symptomatic treatment of the condition and not the condition in itself. As for the itching, it is solely because the liver is affected and yes sir, itching is normal with dengue fever.
Just apply a cold cream or calamine lotion on the skin, as you will have to wait for the itching to subside, which will subside on its own.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
