Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Itching all over body is commonly seen with allergic dermatitis.
So better to get done detailed allergy testing to identify causative allergens in your case.
Try to avoid all possible allergens.
Apply calamine lotion, mometasone (steroid) cream on body.
Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.. Take combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) once a day at night.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
