Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at HealthcareMagic,

I need to ask you a few questions:

What is the duration of itching?
Which are the sites of excessive itching?

Is itching associated with the rash? If yes I would recommend you to upload the photographs of the affected areas.

Do you have any ailments like thyroid dysfunction, diabetes or any systemic complaints?
Are you taking any medicines presently?

Do you have a history of dry skin, eczema, allergic rhinitis, asthma?
Regarding the lumps in the armpits, do you have any recent history of folliculitis in the arms?

Kindly revert back with these answers.

Regards
Dr Asmeet
