I Have Itching In Torso And Upper Arms And Legs

I have itching in torso and upper arms and legs especially when waking up in morning. It is impossible to go back to sleep. It does not itch very much during day, just upon waking. I have no blisters but some small bumps like skin tags. I have gotten the new shingles shots and after the 2nd one approx. 3 weeks later I started itching. Have tried OTC anti lotion which helps some. My doctor gave me a script for hydroxyzine pamoate 25 mg which was to help me sleep but if I wake up at 3, 4 or 5 am it is impossible to get back to sleep for it itches too much. After I am up and moving around for a couple of hours it calms down and I have little itching rest of day. This is causing me sleep deprivation and I work a full time job. What would you recommend I do for this problem?
