HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
There are different possible causes of generalised itching such as: (1)allergies
(2)liver disease or kidney disease
(3)infections
(4)autoimmune diseases
It would be best to visit your doctor to determine the exact cause. This would require history , examination of the lesions and blood tests.
I hope this helps
