Brief Answer:
You probably have a bug infestation!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these itches and the bugs that you have reported. Your symptoms are suggestive of bug infestation. The itches are probably caused by bug bites. The best approach is to do a thorough cleansing of the home and your dresses. All linen must be washed with an antiseptic such as chlorine and pressed thoroughly to kill the bugs. This is the only sure way to eradicate them and have a peace of mind.

For now, you can take benadryl to relief yourself of the itches. However, this is only a temporary relief and will demand more of thorough cleaning of the home and all linen to address this.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
