Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX, Welcome to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,

First of all, please stop scratching, the more you scratch more it'll increase..

Take Tab CETIRIZINE 10 mg stat and Once daily at bed time for next 3 days..

Take cold water shower and apply Lactocalamine/Aloe-vera lotion through out the body, it'll provide soothing effect..

Try to find out if there's anything unusual which you ate/drank , anything which your allergic to..also try to find out if there's any rash/hives over the body ?
Any insect/mite bite ?

Is this the first time you've noticed it happening or was it there before also ?
Are you allergic to any pollen/dust/mites ?

It should get better within a while, but if symptoms persist despite this then I'd suggest you to visit any nearby Physician/Dermatologist's clinic for a prompt physical check-up and management accordingly..

Let me know how you stay in the due course..

Take Care
Kind Regards

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back XXXXX,
Thanks for following up with the details,

Chronic itching without rashes is not likely due to allergic reaction, however Cetirizine should provide some relief, do follow the cold shower and local application of Lactocalamine/Aloe-vera lotion through out the body, it'll provide soothing effect along with(if there's associated dryness, it'll help with that too)..

If symptoms persist despite this, I'd strongly advice for a consultation with a Dermatologist for a detailed clinical examination management accordingly in the first place..

Kind Regards
