Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain itching on thighs, groin, buttocks, stomach, behind knee along with pink bumps that also itch where you dont have bumps and itching gets worse at night bad enough to wake me from my sleep can be due to common causes like:

-Allergic reaction to any food or medication.

-Contact Dermatitis caused by any skin cosmetic, soap and detergent, bug bite, leather, latex, poison ivy etc..

-Hair follicle infection or Folliculitis..

I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like blood tests to rule out allergies and infection can be done..

As of now you can take anti-histamines like Allegra or Benadryl to relieve itching..
Do cool compresses.
Apply Calamine lotion to soothe the skin..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
