Yes Agree i also think ur dry itchy skin on over palns is mainly due to excessive washing keep using vasoline or other hand cream after washing , and for eyelids and lips are dry too rule out sjogren syndrome and thyroid diseases.apply moisteriset daily.if still itching persists go for mild steriod creams.
keep moist as possible. do not keep skin dry, thanks
