Suggest Treatment For Itching All Over With Red Blemishes

Hi there. I have itchy skin, or itches under the skin, all over my body - it moves around. It started within my first week of travel in Bali, Indonesia, and I was there four weeks and returned a week ago. It is still itchy, just as bad if not worse. It gets worse with heat. Mainly bad on my stomach, back of legs, inside legs, inside arms, back and chin. There is no rash at all, little red blemishes come and go. Seen three doctors, one prescribed anti-fungal cream and Fluexicillin, neither worked but made it worse, and the other doctors said they wouldn't help anyway. Had blood checked and it only showed low iron which one doctor said was the cause of the itch, but I've had low iron for years with no itch. Have some bruising (not the type you get from skin itching, but proper purple/green burising up my legs) and pins and needles in my leg sometimes. Bali wasn't very clean, sea was apparentely full of bacteria and the itching started just after going in the sea (however I didn't go back in after that, so I haven't been in the sea for 5 weeks now and still itchy). Please help, this is unbearable. Thanks.
