Brief Answer:
Dry skin

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Apply moisturizers as much as possible and avoid hot water on the itchy places. Apply it immediately after cool water bath in the evening. The smoother texture of the skin is the key here. Also check if there are insect bites that cause itchiness.

Thank you.
