Welcome!
I don't have much to add. It will take getting to a doctor before getting treatment. Eating healthy, etc is certainly a good thing to do, some people have said that it has helped, others not so much.
Moisturizing (coconut oil is good) is helpful as it helps to keep the skin from getting dry which adds to the itching. Scratching is not good (I'm bad about that as well) but if you just have to scratch, try to more rub the area gently. Removing scales isn't bad, just be careful on how you do that. Scratching and pulling aren't the way to go, moisturizing can help remove them. Don't scrub away at them while in a bath either.
This group is great for answering questions and is helpful for information before discussing treatment with your doctor. Hope you get some relief soon!
