Hello Dear. May be you have allergy to some component. You need to find out yourself what you are allergic to. Allergy can be caused by anything. Pollen grain, some plants, egg protein, animal hair etc. You need to find out what you are allergic to and avoid it. If you go to a doctor he/she may do blood test to find out whether there is Eosinophilia. In case there is eosinophilia you amy be given a course of tab. Benocid forte or Hetrazan.

Itching can also be caused by toxins on the skin (contact dermatitis, such as from poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, or grass oils), medications, liver disease, kidney disease, insect bites, hives (urticarial), rare forms of skin cancer (mycosis fungoides and T-cell lymphomas), infections (including chickenpox and fungal infections such as athlete's foot and jock itch), irritation from clothing, eczema, dermatitis herpetiformis, hemorrhoids, and many other conditions, or it can remain unexplained. Infectious causes of itching include sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), parasites (such as scabies, fleas, bedbugs, pinworms, and lice), and viral rashes.

Detailed examination and lab tests may be needed to diagnose the condition. Go to a physician where ever you are and have faith in your doctor.

All the best
With warm regards
