Hi,
As per your query, you have symptoms of itching almost throughout the body which occurs due to an allergic reaction, compromised immunity of the body and due to increased susceptibility.
Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or pricking these areas. Drink plenty of fluids. Take diet rich in multivitamins. I would suggest you consult a dermatologist for proper examination without any delay because it can lead to anaphylactic shock sometimes. The doctor may give an adrenal shot or prescribe an antihistamine. For now, take Benadryl and apply cold compresses to the affected area, which relieved swelling and itchiness.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
