What Causes Itchy Skin On The Arms,neck And Legs?

Hello, For a little over a year my whole skin, particularly arms and neck and legs, is itching annoyingly. All tests came out negative (incl. photosensitivity) and showed I m fine. About 4 weeks ago I ve been given a diprofos injection which was great until yesterday when the itching started again. Please advise as what I should do, since I m not sure whether or not to continue taking diprofos in the long run. Thank you.
