MrsJ I am the same way! Except that my itching and dryness isn't its worst just in the Fall to Winter change, but with EVERY seasonal change. It's quite irritating. I also suffered from sensitive skin most of my life, especially in my younger years. I have been told I have psoriasis, eczema, severe dry skin etc. but the commonalities I have recognized are that 1) I can't do fragranced anything - except perfume and even then when it lands on my bare skin (usually my chest area) I get little red dots for awhile. 2)Dove and Aveeno and Nivea Soft are the only products I can do that don't bug my skin and still keep me as moisturized as I need. As a general rule I avoid fragrance, petroleum, mineral oil, and sulfate soaps.
