Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, general pruritus or itching may need other work up too except skin conditions. Serum urea levels, liver functions test especially bilirubin levels should be done. Skin prick tests, as well as patch tests, may also be needed to be done. Treatment should be done accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
