Suggest Medication For Dry Skin

have prurigo for about 3 years now, female, 75 in good health otherwise. my recent dermatologist prescribed
mupirocin( 2% oin claypark), does not help. I wrap my legs up in long stockings with smoothest material possible
over the worst part and with ointment underneath. Not helping. Do any foods contribute to this terrible disease?
I have also spread gobs of vaseline with some of the medicine over the area trying to keep area moist as possible but dry, itchy.
