what is the cause of this sort of itching?

I had liver  elevated liver enzymes 1.5 years ago.
from ultrasound they said signs if fatty liver.

from my last blood test one month ago, my all liver enzymes were normal.
however, it is around 3 weeks i have attacks of itching sometimes during the day.
it is kind of random and painful itches. not like a normal itching.
i am not sure if this is liver related. i have no j audience,  very positive appetite.

i am not sure if my problem is due to liver or my stress/anxiety due to health problems.
the itching is like this: i feel random  itch attacks  over the body and i see that the area which itches is red.
the itching is sometimes painful.

Hello,
Such a rash can be due to hives. Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places, often in a matter of hours.

Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.
So check out the medications, clothes or toiletries that you are using as these may be triggering the hives.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
