What Causes Itching All Over The Body?

GET A BLOOD EXAMINATION DONE
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to HCM.
This is Dr. Swarnava Dattagupta answering your query.
I understand your concern.
See, itching all over the body has many causes like anaphylaxis, allergy, skin diseases, increased bilirubin or increased blood sugar all can be causes.
I would suggest you to do the following-
Get a complete blood count done specially eosinophil counts. An increased level could mean allergic conditions.
Get an allergy profile done. You would be able to know whether there is any food or common drug you are allergic to.
Get your blood sugar tested. Increased level may cause whole body itching.
Get your bilirubin level done. Increased levels may cause jaundice and itching.
If all your reports are normal, then consult a dermatologist. Diseases like scabies or icthyosis can cause whole body itching.
Hope I have answered your question.
Contact me for any further queries.
Regards.
