Dermatitis?: Is what this sounds like but need to see a doctor for a specific diagnosis and treatment. Usually consists of emollients (moisturisers) +/- topical steroids (anti-inflammatory creams) however also needs a medical check by the doctor and possibly tests as some underlying medical conditions will present with dry itchy skin (e.g. thyroid problem).

Itchy & burning skin: Your doc or a dermatologist will determine if your skin need medical treatment. Beyond that, low vitamin B 12 can produce itching as can dry winter heat in homes. Sesame oil directly on the skin can help. Avoid skin lotions containing alcohol. Peace and good health.
