hello and thank you for asking HCM,
I understand your concern. Regarding to your problems, you probably have hyperfunction od your thyroid. Itching can be a result of dry skin due to thyroid problems. Dry skin can cause itchiness. My suggestion is to test your thyroid hormones, because proper medication would help you to solve your problem.
Until than try with oils and hydratating creams.
If you manage any progression of your symptoms visit your GP as soon as possible.
I hope this answer was helpful to you.
