Cold air=dryness : Itching is often due to dryness . The skin loses some of its protective barrier and causes you to scratch. Use mild soaps or cleansers..Use frequent creams or ointments (preferably with no fragrance ) & after bathing. You should be successful controlling this problem.You could take Claritin (loratadine) or allegra(chk labels) if no better after 1-2weeks, see your dr.
