Hi,

Severe itching all over body seems to be allergic in nature. Try to trace allergen by allergy screening test and avoiding allergen exposure is ideal way to prevent such itching. Desensitization treatment to get rid of allergy helps. Please consult an allergy specialist for such treatment. For untraced allergens take anti-allergic medicine like Cetirizine over the counter after dinner.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
