Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear patient this is a problem for a dermatologist and without a picture it would be quite impossible to point out what the condition is and what could have caused it.
All I can say is try a tablet of Levocetrizine 10mg and see if it helps the itching.
I strongly urge you to show it to a dermatologist
I find this answer helpful
