The Earth's Crust is like the skin of an apple. It is very thin in comparison to the other three layers. The crust is only about 3-5 miles (8 kilometers) thick under the oceans(oceanic crust) and about 25 miles (32 kilometers) thick under the continents (continental crust).
The problem behind your itchy skin might be insufficient vitamin intake. There are a number of vitamins that promote the hydration and healthiness of your skin. A shortage in these could trigger itchiness, dry skin and other skin conditions. Alternatively, an overdose of such vitamins might also lead to itchy skin.
Vitamin A deficiency, also known as retinol deficiency, can cause severely dry skin. According to the World Health Organization, vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem in more than 50 percent of all countries, especially countries in Africa and Southeast Asia.
