What Causes Itching In Arms, Legs And Back?

I have this itching basically my arms legs back; feels like a tiny bite sometimes but I don t see anything. Lotions do not work and sometimes I see a small bump and sometimes nothing. Driving me nuts. What could be causing this? I don t feel bad, no fever, etc.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
The description of the lesions suggests that you might be having papular urticaria or insect bite hypersensitivity.You should try using mosquito nets as much as possible. Apply moisturiser regularly all over your body especially your hands and feet. Oral antihistamines like fexofenadine may also be used to counteract itching.
