A member asked:

My skin has been extremely itchy since october. usually starts out as little bumps then becomes really dry, flaky skin. ?

Dry skin: It may well be that dry skin is the main problem. Applying a skin moisturizer while your skin is still wet after showering helps. If your home heating system is causing too much dryness, use a humidifier. If symptoms persist consult a dermatologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to be checked for an underactive thyroid.
