Thank you for your question. I just want to point out how sometimes we tend to self-medicate when we really shouldn't. Granted, you have used the lotion(s) before for other skin-related issues but if you have never experienced the thick, dry, cracked skin on your elbows before then we won't know what is causing it or what will make it better.
This could be something called plaque psoriasis on the elbows which may go away on its own or may need to be medicated.Truthfully, the best person to see about it is your dermatologist since it is a skin condition which he or she can see and feel. It's also best because then you'll be given something to relieve the itch and get rid of that dry skin. Please keep us updated if you do decide to go to the dermatologist and let us know what they say.
