Hi,

Itching without rashes can occur due to dry skin, diabetes, liver or kidney dysfunction, Thyroid disorders. Tests to rule out the above conditions may be required. Blood sugar level, TSH, free T3, T4, Liver and Kidney function tests can be done. Use moisturiser everyday after showering. Sunscreen use while stepping out in case of summer is also useful.

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

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
