Brief Answer:
Please see the detailed answer below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.

Related your concern I suggest to meet an Infectious Diseases Specialist to exclude a scabies and as well to do a parasite stool.

You should know that scabies is a condition of very itchy skin caused by tiny mites that burrow into your skin.Severe itching that is usually worse at night, is caused by an allergic reaction to the mites.
If the ID specialist diagnose scabies you need to start a treatment with permethrin 5%.

I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.
Regards.
