You should have been taking low dose steroids and may be some anti allergics like cetirizine too to take care of the problem. Itching is suggestive of a likely fresh eruption. Please see your dermatologist and get adequate treatment.You seem to be undergoing steroid withdrawal.
You need no investigations unless you run risk due to steroids and in all probability the present itching will be relieved by anti allergics. Best of everything
