Another opinion: You are advised to consult a dermatologist as I believe that he/she will be able to diagnose and properly treat you. It may require the performing of a biopsy however.

Itching on arms: Could be eczema , driness, or if you have a dog- fleas or bed bugs /scabies or allergies . rarely related to liver/ kidneys or lymphoma. Consider moisturizer like Amlactin, antihistamines and/ or topical steroids if not too widespread. If they get infected may need antibiotics. Would follow up with doctor
