    I get this ... soooooooo annoying!!!!!!!  Yes, had to buy back scratchers (plural) - one for handbag and one for house!!!  Such a pain!!!!!!  In between shoulders blades mainly - near to spine.

      I have the same trouble--especially in the winter. That's where the hot water from the shower hits me and extra-dries my skin!  I try to be more deliberate in stepping out of the spray to a point on my lower back that I can reach with lotion.  Ugh--the mechanics of peri!

    My skin is always itchy especially round my ankles 🙄 I sleep in the freezing cold with my legs hanging out the bottom of my quilt
