You might consider seeing an immunologist. It was determined my T Cells have for whatever reason are elevated due to - pick anyone one: history of eczema , flu vaccines, lime disease, noro virus, COVID 19 (severe), 4 covid vaccines and 2 Shangrix vaccines.
I understand this itch and it is maddening and debilitating. I have it on my scalp and on my left arm only at this time. I will say at this time I am definitely finding relief most days thankfully: GLUTEN FREE DIET Cold packs and where I can place them, dermatologist ordered a compounding creme of lidocaine and trimphylete- messy for the scalp, buy hey when you itch it’s worth it. 5 months of weekly sessions of accupuncture, Started supplements recommended by both the immunologist and a functional medicine dr: Vitamin C with zinc, vitamin C only, Biotin, Folic acid ( blood test showed defiencicy in Folic - this can affect the nervous system), Magnesium, Vitamin D with K ( they say the K part is essential - who knew?) and Calcium strain got only. SHAMPOO: Capsaicin shampoo from Amazon and CAPSAICIN spray for itch is AMAZING - both can be purchased from Amazon. This has became a marathon and while it’s not clear what caused my severe neuropathic itching it’s also not specially clear what is helping - I am doing ALL of the above and I am definelty getting RELEIF. I wish you well and I really do feel for you.

Thanks so much for the detailed information.
I have a nerve conduction test next week.
My Dr has suggested that if that doesn’t show up anything then she’s sending me to an Immunologist.
I’m taking most of the vitamins you have mentioned already as well as Acetyl- L Carnitine, Taurine, magnesium, B1, B2. PEA
Not sure if it’s doing any good but who knows.
Naturopath has also sent away a sample of my hair to the lab.
Apparently they can pick up on over 500 different things that could be causing the itch.
I won’t hold my breath but it would certainly be fantastic if I could get answers to this itchy scalp and back.
Wishing you the best of luck with your health.
