Itching whole body
"Dear doctors, seeking advice! My 78-year-old dad has itching all over his body once or twice a week, but it strangely subsides after taking a shower. He's on BP medication, and recent blood tests didn't reveal anything alarming. Could it be related to dry skin, medication side effects, or something else? Any insights would be helpful!"
