Hi,
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, a dermatologist review is recommended as it seems to be psoriasis which may need the use of topical steroids as well as in some cases vitamin A analogue. Meanwhile, antihistamines like Cetirizine or Loratidine can be helpful for itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
