Brief Answer:
Blood report required

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Itching might be associated with rise in blood urea levels or due to xerosis ( dryness of skin).
Let me know when was your last blood test done.
Don't apply calamine, it can cause increase in dryness.
Apply Ritch or Averzine lotion twice daily.
This will control itch and will also provide moisturizing effect.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
