Itchy skin, can't stop itching, causing sores all over my body. Please help! (w pictures)

Hi everyone, I've been dealing with extremely itchy skin for many months now. I had Covid in November but this started late October. I haven't changed my diet, or any beauty products, or detergents. I don't have any allergies that I know of. I itch until I bleed basically causing scabs all over my body. The itchiest areas are: lower legs, inner thighs, love handles, stomach around belly button, skin fold area area under my underarms and belly, area on the back of upper arms (where my arms bend), and skin folds on each side of my neck and behind my neck around my hairline. Sometimes I get goosebumps randomly.
I'm going to see a dermatologist (took forever to get an appointment). I have gone through multiple OTC itch lotions, Anti-itch sprays, tried prednisone, and it helped my skin stop being itchy but it caused horrible side effects and doctor doesn't want to prescribe it anymore because it's a steroid. Claritin does not work at all.
Blood work was fine 6 months ago, but I'll be getting it done again soon.
Any idea what it could be?

It could be connected to Covid. There have been itching symptoms reported. Make sure you tell the dermatologist that you had Covid shortly after the itching started.
