Though : Though not clear, this may be a fungal infection and you could try an otc antifungal. Without actually seeing it one cannot be sure. If this does not work or makes it worse you need to see a doctor.

I have been having extremely itchy skin. Starts on hands and feet. Sometimes on the rest of my body. There are no marks to show any signs of rash. That is until I claw myself to death.
