Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

The symptoms which you are having are suggesting me that there is a release of mediators of itching like histamine, which is causing all these symptoms. This may be due to many reasons like allergens, infections, increased temp and drug reactions.

You requires physical examination to find out the reason for your symptoms and then we can decide further course of management.

You may require simple blood tests like absolute eosinophill count along with the differential leukocyte count, which will help us to make the diagnosis.

For the present symptoms i would suggest you follow
1.Oral Antihistamines like Terbinafine
2.Apply Ice packs over the itchy areas.
Thank you.
