Have you had vitamin D tested? That would be the best way to tell if your problem is related to vitamin D deficiency.
Are you no longer taking the multi-vitamin? Lack of B vitamins can also cause dry, itchy skin. Since the itchiness went away while you were taking the multi (which would contain, both B vitamins and vitamin D), you should talk to your doctor and see if you can start it again.
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Dry itchy skin is also known as xerosis. Simple daily routines like bathing, applying soaps and scrubbing yourself dry can decrease the moisture in the skin. You will have to choose a moisturizer suitable for your skin and apply it 2-3 times in a day. Also AC and heating depletes the skin of moisture, so if you stay for long hours in AC or heaters you should use a humidifier too. Use warm water and a mild soap for bathing.

Dark spots on buttocks which are not itchy could be due to hyperpigmentation, friction with clothes, sweat dermatitis, vitamin deficiency, dry skin, adrenal gland disorders, thyroid problems, seborrhaic warts, moles etc. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage without examining them.
I would strongly recommend you to consult a skin specialist. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Then I surfed on net and came to know that HLA-B27 positive people have gluten sensitivity and intake of gluten does not let intestine to absorb vitamin B12 and hence continuous intake of gluten creates vitamin B12 deficiency which lead to itchy eye problem and B12 deficiency related problems.

Cheilitis is associated with many conditions from Vitamin B12 deficiency, iron deficiency anemia, be a symptom of allergies.can also be caused by taking the (retinoid) drug Isotretinoin (brand name Roaccutane).

However, I did have another type of herpes-like symptoms few months back where the corner of my lips cracked and had small cluster of spots on my upper lip. But, that was some kind of vitamin deficiency symptom because as soon I took my vitamin pills, it went away.
Basically, I am panicking about these two blisters I got. Any ideas what it could be?
Here's another thread here dealing with the same problem - the consensus seems to be B12 deficiency.
Lots of good ideas.

Also since then I have had itchy skin all over (not on the bumps on my arms. Mostly around the face.) I was thinking maybe I have dry skin? I have been using lotion a lot more lately, and have washed all my clothes and bed sheets. My mom checked my head for lice (maybe I picked something up at the renaissance fair?) and says that I don't have any (She is a nurse so I trust her, so I think I have dandruff). Anybody have any idea what this could be? I'm kinda stressing out over it.

Hi all, I had an injection in summer 2013 and before that I was on the pill for about a week, and took some emergency contraception before all that.
On average I was on the pill for just a week and half and had injection that last 3 months. Due to side effects I didn't return for second dose and I didn't take pills again.
Can anyone tell me the long term side effects because my body has not been the same again.
Other conditions cause itchy skin as well. Skin conditions like dermatitis, scabies and hives, internal diseases like liver and kidney disorders, diabetes, iron deficiency anemia, irritation and allergic reactions to chemicals, wool, soaps, cosmetics and certain foods can cause itchy skin.
You can apply an anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area. Oral antihistamine, such as Benadryl can also be used. You should take a comfortably cool bath and wear smooth-textured cotton clothing.
At your age, doctors should routinely test for a vitamin D deficiency as your skin is now converting less vitamin D from sunlight.
For the past 80 years it was believed that vitamin D3 was only important to the body for regulating calcium and protecting the bones. However hundreds, if not thousands, of studies now show this vitamin (technically a steroid hormone) plays a vital role in health.
Vitamin D deficiency seriously impacts 32 organs especially the heart and bones.
