 Moisturize every day.  I am currently using the Vaseline cocoa butter lotion.  It smells delicious!  In the past I've used Vaseline Clinical Intensive and Lubriderm with cocoa butter.  Anything with cocoa butter is great because it's extra moisturizing.  Once I started this routine my itchies went away.

thnx, vaseline is the only one I have not tried yet,and never thought of cocoa butter great
thnx again

not the actual vaseline, the vaseline brand lotion for extra dry skin.

thnx Monica I will try that

 I had this happen to me too. I started taking some EFA's and I found it helped a lot. My itching was so bad I was breaking the skin....it would wake me at night. Just something else you might like to try...good luck.

can you tell me what EFA is, ya it is getting to that point were it is waking me up in the nite,
thnx

 Omega 3's , fish oil tablets, evening primrose oil......essential fatty acids.  :O)

 I have been having the same problem. My lower back  is so itchy most of the time I am breaking the skin with scratching it. It drives me nuts (not to mention my hubby when I have to wake him up at night to scratch it...lol). I have started using Aveno and it seems to be helping. I also use Avon's Skin So Soft for winter skin. I have had it for a while and not sure if you can order it right now or not but it is worth a try. 

thnx Ann, I have tried the Aveno, worked for a bit then seem to become amuned to, and don't like skin so soft...lol
