What Causes Severe Itching All Over The Body During Nights?

: I am very itchy around night time, we have washed all my bedding and clothes and I have like little cuts up on chest and stomach and with small bumps. I dont notice the itching during the day but at night it is awful, my elbows are also very dry. It has been going on for about 3 weeks now. I have tried using anti-itch cream and lotion and taking bendryl.

Hello,

I think it can be scabies and if it is confirmed you may need anti-scabies cream. Have a face to face consultation with your doctor.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
