Hi!
I really appreciate your concern and the patience that you had for the past three months or so.
I am of the opinion that you are probably suffering from Scabies.
Apply permethrin cream. These creams are applied from the neck down, left on overnight, then washed off. This application is usually repeated in seven days. Permethrin is is considered to be the safest and most effective treatment for scabies.

If your itching still persists then kindly consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
