its from my showers i think. then i scratch, which fucks up my skin, which then makes me more itchy 
I guessed that was at least a big part of it.
Anyway, a suggestion, as I had something like excema (or at least a perfect storm of dry skin, allergies, and stress that caused me hella misery) awhile back, and this almost totally solved the problem. Dunno how universal brands are/if they have the same stuff available near you, but body washes with oil infused in them are a friggin godsend as far as I'm concerned. Some examples (ones I use):

http://www.olay.com/boutique/olaybodycleansing/products/os1037I don't like being a prima donna about girly stuff like soaps, but it makes so much of a difference it's actually worth being picky. With these, the more you shower, the
less dry your skin is, if you're using them each time. There are some body washes that have lotion in them that sorta work the same way, but I couldn't cope with the filmy feeling they left on my skin, so I'd be less likely to reccommend them. I know there are some "guy" body washes that supposedly moisturize pretty well; I haven't seen any that are actually advertised as having oil
in them, but then again I don't shop much in that section for this, lol. The Johnson and Johnson product and the Dove product I linked don't smell very girly IMO.
