Hi ,

Thanks for writing in.

Most likely cause in your case is scabies.

You should try permethrin cream below the neck over the body at night time.Wash off it in morning.It is available over the counter sale.You can take tab Zyrtec for itching.

This should help considerably.

A visit to dermatologist will be helpful for diagnosis and proper treatment of the condition.

Hope this helps.
