itch mites

I have been dealing with some invisible arthropod that is living under my skin somehow. It started almost a year ago. I have seen 4 doctors, 2 of which were highly recommended dermotologists. I have had a biopsy, no conclusive evidence except that I am getting assaulted by an arthropod or I am delusional (I am starting to wonder!). I have had several treatments of elimite cream and 2 treatments of ivermectum. I have tried everything from hydrocortisone to bleach. I was given antibiotics to treat a secondary infection and several topical steroids that I had to use everyday, two to three times a day. After the 2nd treatment of ivermectum I thought the problem was gone, it has been over 3 weeks and I am starting to expercience that same nightmare all over again in isolated areas. I have treated all my bedding, clothes, towels, etc....in hot and most often bleach water. All 4 doctors have given up on me........What is happening?
thank you for any information

I have tried all of your suggestions thank you....interestingly I am dealing with an assortment of bite marks....some of them act like small pimples but they itch like crazy....then I have a  trail of red flat pinpoints that line up under the skin and they vary in sizes. Sometimes these itch and sometimes they don't, and sometimes they go away, and sometimes they don't......then there are areas where the skin is actually sucked out leaving a pockmark. It started out in confined areas and moved around my body...this is the most bizzare medical situation I have encountered. I have researched the oak leaf itch mite, chiggers, noceums, etc....I thought the two rounds of ingesting poison was going to be my way out but since two days ago I am thinking I am dealing with a super mite from another planet!! I am trying to stay sane, thanks for the support...good luck on your situation too.

Wow...im totally intrigued about your situation. What exactly do the rashes or bites look like. I too have some similar issues. With random rashes and random bites, they look like mosquito bites! The rashes are in the morning when I wake up, then go away by mid day...they dont itch, but the what appear to be bites do! No one else in the house is having this happen.
Why dont you try oil of oregano drops by mouth or apply on skin. Hydrogen peroxide. And try over loading on garlic. What happens let me know...hope you dont go senile!!
