Hi,

It seems that you may be having prurigo simplex. There may be some cause. It may be irritant or allergen. It may be pollutants,dusts,house dust mites,grass, pollens,cosmetics,insects...etc you consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and treatment. Antihistaminics like desloratidine and short course of steroid in tappering dose might improve the disease. Apply mild steroid cream. Avoid contact with suspected irritant or allergen. You may be alright. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
