Itching
Definition
Itching is an intense, distracting irritation or tickling sensation that may be felt all over the skin's surface, or confined to just one area. The medical term for itching is "pruritus."
Description
Itching instinctively leads most people to scratch the affected area. Different people can tolerate different amounts of itching, and anyone's threshold of tolerance can be changed due to stress, emotions, and other factors. In general, itching is more severe if the skin is warm, and if there are few distractions. This is why people tend to notice itching more at night.
Causes & symptoms
The reason for the sensation of itching is not well understood. While itching is the most noticeable symptom in many skin diseases, but it doesn't necessary mean that a person who feels itchy has a disease.
Stress and emotional upset can make itching worse, no matter what the underlying cause. If emotional problems are the primary reason for the itch, the condition is known as psychogenic itching. Some people become convinced that their itch is caused by a parasite; this conviction is often linked to burning sensations in the tongue, and may be caused by a major psychiatric disorder.
Generalized itching
Itching that occurs all over the body may indicate a medical condition such as diabetes mellitus, liver disease, kidney failure, jaundice, thyroid disorders (and rarely, cancer). Blood disorders such as leukemia, and lymphatic conditions such as Hodgkin's disease may sometimes cause itching as well.
Some people may develop an itch without a rash when they take certain drugs (such as aspirin, codeine, cocaine); others may develop an itchy red "drug rash" or hives because of an allergy to a specific drug.
Itching also may be caused when any of the family of hookworm larvae penetrate the skin. This includes swimmer's itch and creeping eruption caused by cat or dog hookworm, and ground itch caused by the "true" hookworm.
It could be a number of things that if you believe is contagious you do need to get checked out.
The other thing to consider is an allergy.
If you've started new medicine, started using a new dish soap, laundry soap, or pretty much anything new they your body might be reacting it, it will cause you to become itchy. Doesn't alway have rashes or redness, it can be just itching, all depends on the severity of the sensitivity.
If it is your body being sensitive to something, Some Benadryl allergy can help ease the itch.

If you do not even have a visible rash or anyting, I would go to my doctor. Are you sure that you do not have dry skin. Or is the water extremely harsh in your area. If so this could be the cause. Even though you say you cannot visualize anything, can you tell if your skin has lifts in it. It could be a hive. Hives can be as large as a dinner plate, and they may only lift slightly from your skin sometime. Anaphylaxis could be the culprit.
