Moisturize: Do you have dry skin? Start with a good, low ingredient count moisturizer - petroleum jelly, cerave, Aveeno, Nivea, etc. at least daily and always after showers/bath/swimming. Don’t shave more than necessary. If you have a rash or moisturizing doesn’t help, be seen!

Depends: Pruritis can be causer by number of things including dry skin, allergies, insect bites, irritants, infection and some systemic issues etc. Finding the cause is necessary. In the meantime you can try emollients, moisturizers, antiitch creams to see if one helps.
