A member asked:

Why is my skin so itchy recently especially in the creases?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Despain answered

Eczema: Likely eczema due to dryness or harsh skin care products. Use gentle soaps, lotions after cooler bathing sessions, and try some over the counter steroid cream.
