Hallo Karen
This sounds like an allergic dermatitis. It can be triggered by an allergy to a food/chemical or in some cases can be triggered by stress. Taking an antihistamine like Aterax usually helps for the itch but you may need a course of cortisone to reduce the rash,and for this you will need a prescription. Maybe you should ask him to refer you to a dermatologist.
