I had a moderate case where I sick for about 10 days, mostly fatigue, fever, loss of smell and taste, night sweats. But I developed an itch in my armpits, groin and arms post-recovery. The dermatologist gave me an anti-itch cream, now a month later, the symptoms have gotten worse to the point where I wake up in the middle of the night scratching like crazy. I don't have a history of skin allergies or allergies in general. Posting it here, if someone has/had similar issues.

As you can imagine I don’t know what happens to you but - I had itches in different parts of my body and even a rash showed up on my ankle. Turns out it was a nutrition issue. Over time you may develop allergies to stuff that you weren’t allergic before (also after sicknesses). It doesn’t mean you won’t be able to eat those things ever again, but you at least won’t for some time. Consider also dust mites allergy and do extensive cleaning where you sleep and see if that helps.

  Thanks, am seeing the dermatologist again and may ask her if they need to do a blood test.I've heard that when liver enzymes are out of whack it can lead to allergy like symptoms.

  I've tried an anti-histamine and it's not helped.

I used to get bizarre skin rashes. Just out of the blue, itchy to the point that it was hard to focus on any programming task, would only last 8-10 hours and then fade away. I have a friend (nurse) who recommended I take a supplement quercetin and I haven't had a rash since. It might be worth researching for yourself. Warning I'm not a doctor nor do I claim to be, just throwing out options.
