The reason for the sensation of itching is not well understood. While itching is the most noticeable symptom in many skin diseases, it doesn’t necessary mean that a person who feels itchy has a disease.
Stress and emotional upset can make itching worse, no matter what the underlying cause. If emotional problems are the primary reason for the itch, the condition is known as psychogenic itching. Some people become convinced that their itch is caused by a parasite; this conviction is often linked to burning sensations in the tongue, and may be caused by a major psychiatric disorder.
Someone who itches all over should seek medical care. Because itching can be caused by such a wide variety of triggers, a complete physical exam and medical history will help diagnose the underlying problem. A variety of blood and stool tests may help determine the underlying cause.

That's quite tricky. My brother-in-law was itching for months and his doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. Then my sister switched detergent (because there was a big sale on that particular brand) and my brother-in-law kissed good-bye to the itching problem. Try switching to a milder detergent. Good luck.

Do you bath and clean the skin regularly?
Do you have diabetes?
Then heat might be excessive. Avoid hot, spicy and pungent , sour food. Use cold things.
Check if any allurgy is troubling you.

Please go see your doctor and explain this to him/her. I do not want to make you panic, but it is very important that you go. I have two friends that had this type of problem and they were diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease. Not every case of itching means you have cancer, but please take it seriously and go see your doctor. By the way, both of my Friends have recovered and are doing fine.
