first rule out any allergic reactions....but sounds like it may be a dehydration problem. when you get dehydrated your skin suffers too. not enough fluids can cause dry skin... dry skin=itching. lack of certain vitamins may also contribute to dry skin. so try taking a good multivitamin. phen has a tendency to cause dehydration and since you dont eat as much, you dont get enough of the vitamins your body needs. i know everyone on here is always saying drink more water and take your vitamins... this might just be another reason.
