Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

You may be having prurigo simplex most probably. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply combined cream of antibiotic and steroid. Take antihistaminic and antibiotic under observation of doctor. Avoid soap bath. You may use dettol liquid for bath.

Hope this helps.
