Hai,
As you are a diabetic and kidney failure will lead to temper your routine body function.
in kidney abnormality the the normal routine excretes will be remain in the body.urea,creatinine level will be increased in the blood and that may cause you itching sensation.
diabetic neuropathy will also cause itching.no topical application will be helpful if the problem is not in your skin..
diabetes and kidney function under control will help you to reduce your problem.
Consult a nephrologist to take a opinion for dialysis.
thank you
hope i answered your query
