Hello,

Thanks for writing here.

Area of itching suggested by you point towards most probably scabeis.Look out for itching to other family members,and any pets if you have.However diagnosis can be confirmed only after complete examination and it will be better to consult a doctor.You can take antihistaminics like cetrizine at night for relief.Hope this will help you.Take care.
