Itching over the abdomen can be due to dryness, reaction to one of the medicines you are taking (even though you may have been taking them for a long time without any problem) for other disorders, eczema, fungal infection etc. Apply coconut oil twice a day for few days. If it does not help, then consult your doctor.
