What Causes Dryness And Itching All Over The Body?
Hi, my skin all over my body has become really itchy and dry over past few weeks and its getting worse. I go all my bloods done and all are clear but my gamma gt in my LFT is 100 which is not worrying me unduly. Have you any explanation as to waht is causing this itching?

hi, welcome to HCM,
in winters Xerosis is most common cause of itching.
apply emollient lotion all over the body 2-3 times daily.
Tab levocetirizine 5 mg once daily at night.
avoid bath with hot water, use lukewarm water.
wear cotton cloths first then wollen cloths.
hope this will help you.
thanks
