This winter has just killed my skin. ANd my legs back and arms are just so itchy. Do you know anything that can help stop the itching? I have tried all the basic stuff like Aveeno and cortizone 10. But nothing is really working? ANy advice for me

I guess this will help. Try washing the area with a lukewarm water and use a mild soap such as Dove, Camay or Cetaphil. Then apply neosporin ointment. It's a triple antibiotic ointment that blasts a wide range of bacteria. I've tried it. I hope it works for you.

You can buy Bio-Oil, it works nicely, or I like Vaseline Intensive Care with Cocoa Butter - feels and smells great.
Here are a couple of articles:
