What is the reason for itching around my joints?

From my end of the computer you could well be suffering from Atopic eczema. Of course it needs to be checked by your dermatologist. It usually occurs in people who have an atopic tendency. This means they may develop any or all of three closely linked conditions; atopic dermatitis, asthma and hay fever (allergic rhinitis). Any area such as the bends of the elbows, backs of the knees, ankles, wrists, face, neck, and upper chest may be affected. When it appears on the palms, backs of the hands, fingers, or on the feet, there can be episodes of crusting and oozing. The intense, almost unbearable itching can continue, and may be most noticeable at night. Some patients scratch the skin until it bleeds and crusts. When this occurs, the skin can get infected. The following factors may cause an exacerbation of atopic dermatitis. :

Dry skin

Irritants

Infection

Allergens

Stress

Cold, damp climate Treatment:

Reduction of exposure to trigger factors (where possible)

Regular moisturisers

Intermittent topical steroids In some cases management may also include one of more of the following:

Topical calcineurin inhibitors such as pimicrolimus cream or tacrolimus ointment

Antibiotics

Antihistamines

Phototherapy

Oral corticostroids etc.
