hello, i can understand your concerns. if the itching is more at night, then it seem you may have scabies, it is due to itch mite, in such case i would advice you to use seperate clothes and towels, wash all your clothes, beddings and towels seperately and dry it in sunlight or iron it on high temperatures as it helps killing the mite. i would suggest you to remain away from people having same symtoms as it is communicable, so dont share your bedding, towel or clothes. you can give a single application of permethrin once on whole body. and take some antihistaminics like levocitrizine 5mg at nights for a week, it would be helpful if i could see the lesions, because it can be urticaria too ehich is allergic disease and is due to triggoring allergens, in that case also levocitrizine can help you. thank you
