Neurodermatitis?: It sounds like you may have Neurodermatitis however dry skin and other causes can not be excluded. If antihistamines help try a long acting non-sedating one like cetirizine or loratidine. Skin lotion also may be helpful. If the condition continues I recommend you see a dermatologist or allergist..
