Skin Irritation Due To Heat, Itchiness. Taking Antihistamines. Permanent Cure?

my skin irritates me. I can get very hot, that is when it starts, and i begin to itch , but it is very intense. My doctor put me on a course of Antihistamines and I was fine, I could wear anything t0 my body, neck legs, it was great, but since the course ended it has all started up again, driving me mad, honest.
