Common: This is simply part of the expression/progression of dengue. I would recommend that you use some sort of soothing lotion - even calamine plus Benadryl (diphenhydramine) - for the itchy skin. Once peeling is prevalent, i would move towards cerave lotion or other hypoallergenic lotion to replenish moisture in your skin. Avoid highly aromatized soaps or moisturizers.
