Hi,
It may be scabies most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take tab ivermectin. Take antihistaminics like cetirizine. Apply gamma benzene HCL lotion on the whole body from neck to toe. Cleanse the body by diluted savlon. If there is infection take a course of antibiotic. Treat the family members if affected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
