Hi,
This could be due to some personal care products9 soaps, creama etc.) that you might be using which you are allergic to.
When you have an allergic reaction to a substance, histamine and other chemicals are released into your bloodstream, causing itching, swelling, and other symptoms.
You can take oral anti-histamines for the itching and also apply a lotion containing menthol/camphor.
Only you can find out what could posibly the trigger factor.Also dry skin can cause itching as wellas aggravate an allergic skin reaction.So keep skin well moisturized.
