Hi,
You could be having lichen simplex chronicus or prurigo. The diagnosis could be made only after a proper clinical examination. You could take an antihistamine tablet. If you do not get any improvement in a week, you must consult your Dermatologist for further management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
