I assume you've been evaluated, tested& advised by a dermatologist or 2. Usual things we look for would be dry skin,diabetes,liver or kidney disease. Malignancy, like lymphoma,would have manifested itself before 6 years of intense itching. Perhaps you should consult a dermatologist at the dept of dermatology at a university hospital for an opinion.
