Hello and thanks for the query.

The itching may be secondary to a high eosinophil count. I think this should be examined further however. I would advise a lab workup to include a CBC, comprehensive metabolic panel, LDH and sedimentation rate. This might give us some more clues as to why you have the itching. Of course you would also want to moisturize your skin daily as dry skin alone can contribute to itching.

Thanks again for the query. Let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.
