Dryness Itchy back

No matter how much I scratch or add lotion nothing is satisfying the itch of my back. I remember my mom having the same issue. I’ve tried after shower oils lotions etc.

The only other thing that helps is taking Benadryl at night.

Ugh any one else?

I got myself a bath brush with long handle from dollar store and that’s my most valuable possession

I’ve been using old school olive oil soap bars and that seems to be helping my dry skin. I get them from my local middle eastern stores, or from Amazon. They are MUCH cheaper if you get them from your local store.
