Even fungal skin infection may be the cause.

Start taking red papaya one small bowl daily all allergies will go

Also no headache perfect solution no side effect will be on skin on your prescribed medicines

I used to take several allergy tablets as well headache tablets

Now for last 20 years

Try papaya for one month

Let me share the advise I received from my doctor relating to similar problem,and if you find it relevant to you,please consider it.

As one advances in age and diabetes progresses,the sweat glands on the skin become more and more dysfunctional.Consequently,the skin will not be lubricated with sweat and becomes dry and itchy.To counter this,I was advised to apply oil on the body and do light massage about an hour before bath.Any massage oil will do.I use Himalaya massage oil.My skin condition has improved and itching has more or less disappeared.I also use a moisturizing lotion if I find any dry skin here and there.Try it.It is harm less and not expensive.

It could be Neuropathy. The beginnings of neuropathy. Usually it starts from the feet or hands but people are different . I would ask the doctor.
