Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic HCM. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

Take shower only with Oatmeal Milk and Honey bodywash. No scented soaps.

Take Loratadine by mouth for itch.

Apply Dermovate Ointment on the itchy areas of body. Apply Hydrocortisone Scalp cream on the scalp itching areas.

Take plenty of water and avoid direct sunlight and heat.

If possible upload the picture of the lesions in a follow up query to see if there is any need to do somewhat else.
