Detailed Answer:
Thank you.
Perhaps it is just Xerosis i.e severely dry skin leading to itching Or it is Urticaria. I suggest you to use a bland moisturizer e.g Aquaphor (petrolatum) on affected skin. In addition I suggest you to take an oral antihistamine e.g cetrizine 10mg tablet once a day for a few days.
hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance

Brief Answer:
Regarding itching
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Scabies is a possibility but I suggest you to treat it with permethrin 5% cream as it is more effective than Eurax (crotamiton). Permethrin cream can be used as single, whole body application left overnight.
take care
