Brief Answer:
Physiological reaction

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

In response to excitement or nervousness, the sensory system of the body over-reacts, stimulating the nerve endings in the skin causing a burning/itching sensation all over the body.

This is a normal reaction of the body.

Use of antihistamine drugs can help.

Hope this answers your query.
Thanks.
