ItchingsOnlySkinDeep: Sounds like some kind of contact irritation (something touches your skin that it is sensitive to) or a cluster of insect bites or something like that. Scratching just activates the cells that release chemicals that will make you itch more. Put on a steroid cream (hydrocortisone 1% and see how it goes. Rub it in gently 2 or 3 times. If that doesn't work see a doc for an evaluation.
