@Mariadolores--Even though a shower may feel good, please be aware that the water is very drying, especially hot water. You may want to try just warm water.
Antihistamines may help with our itching, especially if it's persistent. I occasionally get a facial itch that passes quickly, and I just ignore it. I also try extra moisturizer which helps sometimes.

Yes, I attribute the dryness and itchiness to Menopause and lupus though. They kind of work hand-in-hand, not the best time to go through it. I also have eczema in my ears, believe it or not.

I use vitamin E, Cera v, and also some prescription for mosquito bites. When in doubt I use in all natural oil made by Crisan!!!
Hope this helps.
