Get professional help, in the meantime emoliant cream can't do any harm and may help a lot.

E40 can help a little bit (shower or bath cream). I used to have the same problem but it stopped few months ago. Im not sure if its not seasonal thing in my case. i remember having it at winter time few years back

I went to the doctors yesterday about the severe all over body itching and came away with more meds to counter act the allergic reaction to the penicillin antibiotics I was given 2 weeks ago when I got the mumps so hopefully I should feel relief soon before I rip my skin off

Well the all over body itching has returned so doctor put me on antihistamines until I get the blood test results back and hopefully they can show what's going on
