It could be dry skin, hormones, or a variety of causes. Do you swim? Chlorine is drying. Try bathing with warm (not hot) water and get something like Neutrogena sesame oil and apply it when your skin is still damp and air dry. Also oatmeal baths (Aveeno has several kinds) help with itch. Good luck!

Its caused by a combination of hormones and changes in weather, but I have found that Olay Body Quench body lotion for extra dry skin works great!

I too have had itchy skin all over my body. I use to use the seseme oil as listed above after shower, but was told that oil blocks the pores in the skin and can cause itching. Needless to say, I stopped using oil, and my problem seemed to subside. I currently use Olay in shower lotion, then dry off a lil and apply St. Ives 24 hour moisture, and my skin feels great...the itching is gone!!! Hope you find something that works for you!!! ~~~Shari

Apply Extra Virgin Olive Oil all over your body before bath. Add heavy whipping cream to bath water, and soak for awhile. The whipping cream blends the water and oil together and works wonders.

I have the same problem with the ichy legs and have found that I have really dry skin since the surgery. I use alot more lotion than I ever did before. I like lubrederm.
