Brief Answer:
Psychologenic pruritus is a possibility.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
The symptoms are more likely suggestive of psychogenic pruritus. It is a rare disease where psychological factors, emotional outbursts, and external stimulus can cause itching.
It is a difficult condition to treat and best option is to avoid stimulus precipitating the itching.
Treatment is mainly symptomatic and over the counter available antihistamines like cetrezine can be effective.
