what was the implant in your arm? did the itch start after the removal surgery? are you applying betadine, savlo, dettol? if yes, you may be having irritant dermatitis.
try dermovate cream ( clobetasol) once daily for a week. if the itching is sever you may also take tab atarax 25 mg once daily at night. revert back after 7 days of therapy.
