Hi, During winters I get itching all over my body especially the back, shoulders, arms and legs. itching occurs when I am out in the sun. Also when there is dust around. My father had this problem. He used to bleed profusely when he scratched his body vigorously. My father found relief by applying a mixture of Hydromax cream, Hydrofil Lotion and MMS cream. My mother too has this problem but without bleeding. Please advise.

You might have xerotic skin with photodermatitis. Take bath with Glycerine soap. Apply glycerin and olive oil lotion daily after bath all over your body. While going out side at day time apply a good sunscreen all over your photo exposed sites. Take vitamin C and vitamin E supplements daily along with balanced diet.
