What Causes Itching In Arms And Shoulder?

today my upper arms and shoulders started itching. They are hot and red (which could partly be from scratching) but nothing helps the itch. I've tried topical anit-itch meds and benedryl but nothing helps. There a couple of spots on my upper body that also started to itch a little, but nothing like the arms. What the heck could it be? I have not been in the sun at all

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me tell you that this could be hypersensitivity reaction and local application may not work here, and in my opinion this need to be treated with Tab Levocetrizine 10 mg three times in day for 10 days, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
