Hi,

As per your query you have symptoms of itching all over the body which is known as dermatographic urticaria which could be due to increased skin sensitivity and compromised immunity of body. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to:
- Apply cold compresses to the affected area
- Take Aspirin or acetaminophen for itchiness and burning sensation
- Avoid sun exposure
- Apply broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 even if you are not under sun exposure
- Drink plenty of water
- Take over the counter anti allergic drug like Benadryl or Zyrtec
If symptoms doesn't get better in 3-4 days consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe steroids or hydroxychloroquine.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
