What Causes Severe Itchiness On The Back And Arm?

My arms and back are very itchy...worse at night. Could it just be dry skin because of the time of year? are there other health issues I should be concerned about? I am very healthy female. I am training for a body building competition, so I work out about 2.5-3 hours a day ( 2 in am , and 1 hr in pm) when I sweat the itchy areas actually burn. It IS worse at night while sleeping
