Likely unrelated: Itchy dry skin can improve using any moisturizing agent like Gold Bond lotion or whatever similar product you  have in your country.

Question 9

what reason for skeen elergy?

Accepted Answer

Skin test?: I believe what you meant was "skin" test 
in allergy, we use the skin test to find out whether a person has acquired an antibody (called ige) against certain allergens often selected based on your geographic locale, history etc. A positive response would confirm the diagnosis in question. Indications for skin test include hay fever , itchy eyes, food allergies,  and bronchial asthma.

Question 10

collecting items for no reason?

Accepted Answer

Hoarding.: This sounds like a hoarding problem.  This is a growing problem becoming more common throughout the country.  People become attached to many items that would otherwise be thrown out or not obtained.  Many times it is done to take the place of something lost, or to remind a person of smoeone who has died, or for some other reason.  It is wise to see a doctor for counseling and psychiatric help.
