There is a lotion out there, ( think just in the regular isle with the lotions (or ask the pharmacist), that says "Calming Lotion," and it is for people who just itch!  I completely understand, I am the same way.  There's also lotions out there with hydrocortisone in it, just enough so that it isn't all greasy.  Then, you might ask your doctor what other meds you can apply to stop the itching.

One thing that helped me immensely is that I bought one of those tightly contained mattress and box spring covers that WILL NOT let any type bug in, including bed bugs.  It reassured me more than I thougtht it woule.
