Brief Answer:
Get done vitamin b 12 level, serum IgE level and eosinophil count.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.

In my opinion, you should get done serum vitamin b 12 level, serum IgE level and eosinophil count.
Vitamin b 12 deficiency can cause burning and Itching sensations in the body.
If allergy is the cause then serum IgE and eosinophil count will be raised.
So please get done these tests.

Please reply me if you had these tests in the past.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
