Hi, I can understand the concern for itching all over body. You have not mentioned your age, occupation and any relevant history which could have guided us to the nearest possibility.
After reading your history it appears that you have developed Allergic contact dermatitis to some contact allergen. You can go for patch test to rule out the exact cause. For the same you can meet a dermatologist who will guide you properly.
I advise you to not pinch or pop the area otherwise these areas are very prone for getting secondary infection. For time being period you can apply steroid based cream such as mometasone or cortisone and take antihistamine tablet such as loratadine or cetrizine.
Do not try to even touch or pinch the area as can cause more aggravation of the problem.
Take care.
