Itching: Itching or pruritus, has 1000 causes. Often this is due to sinus or some other problem which is pretty simple to treat but there are many other conditions which can cause itching so you need to really see a dermatologist. Try to get some lotion and rub it on with the flat of your finger pads rather than scratching until you can get to the dermatologist. I'm very sorry i can't give you more help.
