I've recently found out that i'm anemic. my skin has became very dry and itchy what can i do to help prevent this matter?

Dry itchy skin: It is important to know the number for hemoglobin& hematocrit, mcv. Type of anemia and cause of anemia. Anemia causes dry, pale skin. If you correct the cause the problem would resolve. You are already using Benadryl (diphenhydramine) Hydrocortisone and iron. If the problem is serious then look for other cause and see dermatologist. Good luck.
