My Arms are driving me Crazy

Has your arms ever itched so bad you just wanted to take a fork and scratch the skin off??? Awake, alseep, driving, in the shower, eating out, stores, the fresh air, the sun the heat. This has been happening for several years now and i cannot figure out whats causing it.
Most of the time my skin just prickles, but then theres the times when i get little bumps or little blisters on my hands and my arms. When i get the bumps i have to scratch them till they get blood. Then i have to run cold water on my skin, then put vaseline and then ice on my arms to make them freeze.
Sometimes i have to repeat the cold process several times to make the itching stop. When i am out of the house and i itch the only thing i can do is scratch.
My arms and the tops of my hands are full of scars and new scratches. Ive used everything from benedryl to calmine lotion. Aloe vera helped for a day or two but now it doesnt work. What kind of allergy could i have that i need to use cold water vaseling and ice to make it stop.
Help me please i am going crazy.

It could be any number of things. Soap, cotton, lotion, detergent, etc. The only way to find out is to get tested by an allergist.

Have you tried a dermatologist?
