What could cause my skin to itch all over for months now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dryness: By far the most common cause is dryness. There are certainly other causes which could even be metabolic like thyroid, kidney, blood sugar. Try using only moisturizing soaps like Dove and find a cream or lotion you like but apply it frequently (many times a day if needed). See your doctor if that doesn't help.
