I do have the itching but that's from psoriasis and some time that can be Maddening. Moisturizer is the answer to that problem. I wash the area and add Lubriderm Cream, everyday.

Tearing? I had that in one extremely tender thin skin area that developed inverse psoriasis from a side affect to a biologic i tried. Once I quit that bio and it left my body the problem disappeared.

Hey Linda how was your day?

It could be a Variety of things, so check with your MD.
For one it could be Eczema, psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis.
I have them both and had them for years before being diagnosed. So get a head start, find out now.
Be blessed and enjoy the rest of the week.

It could be blood sugar or dry skin I use vit e gels that moisturize from the inside out
