See below.: It's possible that you have dry skin, in which case using hypoallergenic skin cleanser and frequent hypoallergenic lotion applications should help. If this doesn't, please see your doctor soon for evaluation, because there's a long list of conditions that can cause generalized itching, and some of them need specific testing and treatment. Feel better!
