Welcome to HCM
i appreciate your concern about your health
There can be many reason for this itching.it can be just an allergy or dryness of the skin which is causing itching and hair loss.
Ist of all take lots of fluid and apply moisturizers.
Change all of the beddings and dry them in sun.Bed mites can be the reason too.if its in other family members too then you have to go to physician to get treatment for scabies.
take an anti histamine like loratidine once at night
Check your thyriod function test.abnormal levels can also cause itching,hair loss and tiredness
