Dry skin can be itchy

Very dry and wrinkled skin that is very tight and therefore less soft and less moisturized can give rise to the appearance of itching.
Itching is a sign of a distressed state of the skin, caused by an insufficient level of water combined with lipids on the epidermis.
The result is dryness of the skin and subsequent itching, signs of skin that is not performing well as a defense against external agents.
Some relief may come from applying a slightly oily moisturizer and drinking plenty of water.
If the problem recurs better to hear the opinion of the dermatologist.
