Look into scabies as a possibility.  Do a Google search or visit your local
library.  See your gp or a dermatologist.  If he/she can not absolutley rule
out scabies insist on being treated for it.  Be VERY careful not to
re-infect/infest yourself.

Good Luck,  Bob

Try Amlactin moisturizer and Basis Sensitive soap and see a derm asap.

If your face and hands haven't joined the itching areas, I'd suggest
something in the soap or other products like softeners being used in
your laundry. If your face and hands are also itching, I'd suggest
your bath soap or other product like shampoo that eventually contact
most parts of the body when you bathe or shower.

In many cases this comes from a change in products.  If you didn't
change yourself, then the ingredients of your usual products might
have changed.  In many cases the culprits are scents and colors that
are added.  For instance highly scented soaps like Irish Spring have
always given me the reaction you describe - itching with little or
no visible skin reaction.  If it's not as simple as going back to
your regular product, then I'd first suggest trying baby products.
Remember if this is an allergic reaction it will take some time to
calm down so give it a fair chance.  If the baby products don't seem
to be irritating, but you don't want to stick with them, then try
products with as little scent and color as possible.

For temporary topical relief that's not likely to cause further
reaction, I'd first try coconut oil, myself.
