My limbs itch severely, dry, scratching causes light bumps, cetaphil moisturiser doesn't help. am 60 yrs. why?

Itching: See your dermatologist to see if this problem arises externally or internally. If external you can sit on the bathtub for 30 minutes then get out, dry off thoroughly, and apply eucerin cream or aquaphor or vaseline to your skin to seal the moisture in. If internal you may need an appropriate diagnosis and internal pills to suppress the itching.
