Hello,
Although the symptoms are typically suggestive of scabies but we need to confirm the diagnosis first. Moreover scabies is a contagious disease which effects other family members also. It is characterized by intense itching, usually at night and by small insect-type bites lesions on the skin. Diagnosis of scabies is made by scraping the skin and viewing the material under a microscope to see the characteristic mite or eggs.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Get the doctor to check you for scabies. It is VERY itchy, also very common. It is easily treated and there is no shame in having it.
The other thing it could be is an allergy. Get checked by a professional.
