What Causes Dryness And Itching All Over The Body?

Hi, my skin all over my body has become really itchy and dry over past few weeks and its getting worse. I go all my bloods done and all are clear but my gamma gt in my LFT is 100 which is not worrying me unduly. Have you any explanation as to waht is causing this itching?
