You have: described possible eczema which is the itch that rashes. try liberal amounts moisturizing cream and try not to scrub dry after quick showers which are preferable to long baths, and talk to your doctor about steroid creams for severe cases and patches

Low thyroid?: Dry skin also comes from low thyroid function. Do not rely on TSH level for an answer. Look at Free T3, (liothyronine) Free T4, and total T4 as more important. www.blatmanhealthandwellness.com
