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
