It is difficult to explain the reason because you may have not
basic information about Korean Medicine.

The folowing is the case.

Itching on whole body!

You can see the person who are bothering with itching on the skin or the flesh under the skin.
This usually takes place in the eveing or when showering.
Lots of people at first visit dermatologic clinic and receive steroids prescriptions. At last they came to know the steroids do not work any more and furthermore deteriorate the sysmptoms.

The below case is for a woman who has bothered with itching for several years.

weakness does not smoothe marginal circulation.
And the humidity and fever of digestional organs
comsumpts the Ki(bioenergy) on the trunk, this makes
the Ki not to go out through skin. So the viceous Ki is
clusted under skin and cries to give the way to out. It is
itching!

If you are interested in herbal treatment, please visit the
" www.harabiclinic.com/ " and read other cases in english
and you can place an order herbal preiscription with your
detail information of your body status.

it could be the chlorine u may be allergic to it so what u can do is rub alcohol on it and keep it moisturized with lotion

It could be.swimmer's rash?
or maybe scabies, but I think that stuff spreads and trust me, it itches like mad. And I got that from my dog....
{poison Ivy maybe?though i doubt it.
probaly a bacteria in your water

If you have chiggers, there are lots of options. I found a few links that mention putting tea tree oil on it and that you should do this for several days. They say it sufficates them as they are embedded in your skin.

I also found something called Cigarid that is sold at Walgreens and CVS pharmacies. Someone swore on a site that this apparently gives instant relief.

There is also a product called Chigger Rid that's out there.

Another site indicated putting icy hot directly on the spot helps. I have no idea but you could test this out if you have it at home.

Last but not least, take nail polish and coat the area. Apparently, this works. I have no idea why but I found several claims about it helping with the itching.

Good luck...
