Hi
Since you have developed an itchy skin condition which is disturbing your sleep as well, it is necessary that you get yourself checked by a dermatologist .
A proper assessment and diagnosis of the skin condition is essential so that adequate treatment can be advised .
To relieve the itching that you presently have, you can take some oral antihistamine like claritin once a day.
