Hi there,
A clinical examination is very important for determining the exact cause of your symptoms. Itching could be due to any allergy, inflammation or infection. Contact dermatitis due to allergy to any clothing, perfumes and soaps can give rise to itchy rashes. A person may experience red, raised lines or hive-like welts on the skin after scratching. The skin may be irritated, swollen. Take an antihistaminic for relief in itching. Wear loose cotton clothes. Application of calamine lotion may provide a soothing effect. For accurate diagnosis see a dermatologist.
Best luck and take care!
