    oat meal in a sock in the bath...let it get really gooey and lather it all over.  Don't rinse.

    Another is a cup or two of plain vinegar in a bath, balances the dkin ph and brings relief too

    Hi just get your bloods checked you could be low in iron.

    Yes it is a symptom of low iron. And another meno symptom. You can try an anti -histamine like loratadine. That worked for me. If it make you drowsy, (though it shouldn't),  take it in the evening.

    Use unperfumed body lotions like E45 cream. 

    Hope it stops soon!

    My skin, hair and nails have ALWAYS been dry and my iron levels are fine - it's sometimes just the way you are.

    I've tried all sorts of things over the years and now use a paraben-free vitamin E cream, available in many wholefood stores and not as pricey as you might think.

    Also, for your body you might try a shea butter or coconut butter lotion by a well-known company that also do a paraben free version.

    I no longer wake up looking like a prune!😁

    Try Aveeno cream - it's an oatbased moisturiser that soothes skin and can help with the itching or oats in the bath.
