What Causes Itching On The Foot, Lower Abdomen And Buttocks?

Yes, I hope you can. I experience terrible itching in the same places every year. Those places are: the tops of my feet, my lower stomach, and the outsides of my hips/buttocks, the small of my back at the top of my butt crack, and the lower part of my stomach. If I make the mistake of scratching the itching becomes nearly unbearable. On my feet, the itching moves/radiates from the place being scratched and where it radiates to itches worse than the original itch. The radiating itch feels like an electric shock itch. The only way I can get relief is to scratch until blood is running and pain replaces itching. I have been overweight all of my life. Within the last two years I have lost about 35 lbs. I have several places on my body where the skin is lose (stomach.sides of butt cheeks) and itching occurs at the bottom of bulges where the skin hangs hangs lose but still has some liquid like fat in them. I use an anti-itch medication called SARNA which, in time, gives some relief. The lower part of my legs always have something like a burning sensations. The skin feels, without touching them, as if it is dry and stiff. The itch feels like bugs crawling around under the hard stiff skin.
