Scabies.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for posting the query.

The night itching is usually seen in scabies. But in scabies it is always associated with the rashes like small reddish or grey bumps on the skin.

If you have any persisting rashes now i suggest you to upload the picture of the affected area.

Waiting for the images.

Take care

HI,
I went through the attached images

It looks more like scabies,

I treat such cases with anti histamines like TAB. ALLEGRA once in the night for 5 days and Permethrine 5% lotion to applied whole through out the body from neck to toes sparing your head and face. Apply it in the night, leave it over night wash it off in the morning.

If the symptoms still persists then repeat applying it once more after a week.

take care.
