When I cut out carbs like rice, pastas, potatoes, Breads, the itching stopped over time. I have issues with gluten and soy. Also, my craving for sugar dropped as well.

Also, I am Lactose intolerant. Just a little bit of cheese here and there. This all stopped in early 2019.

The ringing in the ears is less severe as well. But that is me. You might want to ask about a skin condition called Rocesea. ( Ro-shay-sha)

Hope this helps.
