This sounds like Scabies.
Scabies is an infestation of the skin with the microscopic mite Sarcoptes scabei.
Symptoms are pimple-like irritations, burrows or rash of the skin, especially the webbing between the fingers; the skin folds on the wrist, elbow, or knee; the penis, the breast, or shoulder blades.
Intense itching, especially at night and over most of the body.
Sores on the body caused by scratching. These sores can sometimes become infected with bacteria.
You can get it by direct, prolonged, skin-to-skin contact with a person already infested with scabies. Contact must be prolonged (a quick handshake or hug will usually not spread infestation). Infestation is easily spread to sexual partners and household members. Infestation may also occur by sharing clothing, towels, and bedding.
Although you cannot cure a case of scabies without prescription medication from a doctor, there are certain things you can do at home to prevent reinfecting yourself or your family.
Wash all clothing, towels, and bed linens in hot water. Do not allow air drying. You should use the dryer.
Use the medication as prescribed and instructed. Do not use it more than instructed because you risk causing chemical irritation of your skin.
You can also treat itching with antihistamine medications such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl).
Cut your nails and clean under them thoroughly to remove any mites or eggs that may be present.
Vacuum your rugs, furniture, and bedding and throw the vacuum cleaner bag away when finished.
If this is what you think you have, you have to see a doctor to get the prescription for treatment.
I hope this has helped.
