What Causes Itching On Back And Hands?

the upper right side of my back is itchy (for a few months) and now the tops of my hands itch. there is no rash or scabbing. I had a check up in October & my blood work showed a vitamin D deficiency. I also saw my dermatologist in November...all clear. what is happening?

Hello,

Perhaps it is just dryness. I suggest you to use a moisturizer e.g. either vaseline or petrolatum jelly. In addition, I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g. cetirizine.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
