Hi,
I can understand your concern for the burning sensation all over body in your mother.

In my opinion if all the important causes are ruled out then it appears to be Non-specific pruritus rather than a systemic problem. I suggest you to go for all teh routine blood investigation and if are normal then there is nothing to be worried.

If I were her dermatologist then would have suggested to take an antihistamine such as hydroxyzine 25 mg twice daily which is one of the good tablet in such kind of cases.

All the best.
