Hi, it could be because of dryness. Elders are more prone for dryness as the oil secretion reduces with age and dryness increase at night due to slight decrease in atmosphere temperature as well as less of diversion of mind. Please apply coconut oil before bath, use mild moisturizing body was for bath and apply liberally thick moisturzers daily 3-4 times. Do this for 10 days, if the itching does not reduce, then please consult in person a Dermatologist.
