Hello,
From your description, I am of the opinion that it might be scabies. Do you have excessive itch between the web of fingers in hand? Buy one permethrin solution, use the entire bottle once at night over the whole body before sleep, don't use over neck and face.
Dryclean all your clothes or at least put them in stronhg sunlight including your bedsheet and mattress. Use anti scabies soap for a while. Use anti-allergics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
