What Causes Severe Itching Of Fingers?

I am having awful itchiness on my fingers. I have always suffered from aczema, but this is severe itching. I am itching until I am raw and bleeding and my ring finger is swolen None of the lotion or cream the dermatologist gave me is working. I have to ice my finders and hands just to sleep at night. Any suggestions as to what it could be and any home remedies that might help? Thank you.
