Thanks, bhuzzers, for all the tips and yes, Summer, it is actually a form of eczema; in fact eczema is a catch-all term for various types of "dermatitus" type itchy scaly dry skin. There is no real "cure" but there are things in diet and environment that make it better/worse. And drinking more water helps but I didn't know about the essential fatty acids. I think also that it is worse for me this year because about 3 months ago I stopped taking my "super woman vitamins" - big mistake. They are just regular vitamins for women with iron and B complex. I also found out from doctor that eczema type skin problems are also aggrated by stress (rolls eyes at current in-law drama going on for past guess, what two months).
Chocolate seems to make my arms redder, sob, so that's out for now!
