Hi,

You seem to suffer from generalized pruritus. And the cause may be diabetes most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to take treatment to control diabetes from diabetologist. And take antihistaminics like cetirizine to relieve the itching. Apply calamine lotion to soothe the skin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilyas Patel, Dermatologist
