Pruritus: Is it an overall itch? And you have environmental alergies? An allergist can test you and determine your triggers and help you manage your symptoms, see one in your local area.

Dry skin?: Dry skin may cause this type of sensation. Try avoiding scented soap and then apply a medium-thickness moisturizer within 3 minutes after bathing. If this does not help after a week or so, see your doctor.
