Maybe : Moving to a new location, at times may affect your skin, several reasons can play a role, the weather, the relative humidity, possibly allergens in the area, or just may be the anxiety of adjusting to a new place, it can also be unrelated to moving. Skin care can help till you get to see your doctor or a dermatologist, warm bath, moisturizers, avoid dehydration, OTC antihistamine & anti itch cream
