What Causes Itching On The Arms And Legs?

I have extreme itching on arms legs and torso. No visible rash. I was out working in sun this past Saturday but only head and arms exposed. I am a type 2 diabetic with same dose of metformin daily, (2-599mg daily) and no side effects from that. I started 10 mg Lipitor, once daily about 30 days ago, but no side effects, unless combined with sun would be an issue. Does shingles or gout produce these symptoms?
