Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin Infections

I am a highly educated woman (55 years old next month), I itch everyday for the last 25 years...I have been to 5 Dermatoligists and had skin puncture tests..they say I have accute and chronic Folliculitis...That I believe, but why do people itch around me all the time? I am a very scientific person (my father invented the night vision scopes our military still uses and the first lens that took picturs on the moon, just so you have a background about me..my father was an optical physicist ). I m just wondering if there s something that could be causing this ? I do not have scabies, I have been tested ...Is ther anything I can do to remedy this?
