I have acid reflux and i have been having intermittent itchy skin. can these two be related? i tried various skin lotions but it didn't help. my liver blood test have come normal. is the itchy skin an internal issue or because of dry skin?

Stress related: You may stress that cause your reflux and cause your skin to be itch intermittently. You may want to look into this mental aspect.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. The two issues may be unrelated but each requires an in-person evaluation. If you are overweight, losing weight may help with both.
