Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As your doctor is sure that it is not fungal or bacterial, It could be a mite infestation (A condition called scabies). Please try to rule out the condition. Patients with scabies have more itching at night time and family members/close contacts also have similar lesions. Please do consult your Dermatologist for further details.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian.
