Hello,
Thanks for the query,
You might be suffering from scabies.
It is quiet common infection and your description matches with that.
It will be better to try an application of permethrin.
Also take an anti histamine tablet.This will control the itch.
Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.And get the medication prescribed.Let me know if you have any other doubt.you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818Wishing you good health,Thank you
