Severe itchiness during pregnancy

I am soooo itchy from my knees up I have little white marks all over my leg (from my knee up) it is so extremely itchy that it is the only thing I am thinking about all day. It started on Tuesday. I posted a picture on my profile it is the first picture. Can you tell me what you think it might be and what I should do about this.
I can't stand the itchiness.

Any advice is great.
Thanks.

I had extremely itchy skin at about 17 weeks.  My doctor gave me a prescription cream that worked wonders.  It was a pregnancy related itch.   Good luck to you!
