What Causes Itching Sensation All Over The Body?

I have been experiencing a lot of itching in the last 2 weeks. Stomach area, chest and legs also. Plus some small moles on my stomach that are sore, possibly from all the itching. Topical products have not helped. 2 days ago I discontinued eating a snack that was kind of spicy, thinking that might be a factor, but no relief yet. Otherwise nothing is different than my normal.

As per your case history of itching all over body, my treatment advice is:

2. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily for 7 to 10 days.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days.
