HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may have to consider visiting your doctor for an assessment and consider allergy testing if he or she confirms this is the likely cause.
Allergy testing would help to determine what is the exact cause of the reaction.
There are other cause of generalised itching such as thyroid disease, infection such as scabies or fungal infection, liver or kidney disease, side effect of medication.
I hope this helps
