What can cause night itching in elderly people?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dry skin: All itching is worse at night because our minds are not engaged with the usual daytime actions. Dry skin is itchy skin. Use a mild bar soap to gath such as dove bar and massage pure vaseline sparingly after bathing. Not greasy if you use the right amount.
