Answer: Hello Julius and thanks for using Wellvis

Sorry about what you are going through I will ask you a few questions to help assist me Is the itching continuous or it comes and goes Have your legs hands and face been itching too Have there been any swellings or blisters forming Have you noticed any change in your skin colour or texture Have you started using any new skin products soaps lotions etc Do you have any history of allergy Have you been taking any new medications

There are various causes of pruritus itching which range from infections inflammation autoimmune etc 

Visiting a doctor or dermatologist will be of benefit

I hope this helps and speedy recovery
