Wrongly misdiagnosed with Scabies? Help!

My Father has bad psiarosis. About 4 months ago I had visible psiarosis on my legs, which went away after a month, it seems to happen when Im stressed. Then I found out my Mum had cancer and for some reason my skin flared up crazily, obviously due to worry and stress. I have slept in a lot of beds the past 4 months for travelling around but they have all been new mattresses and duvets or fairly clean houses with brand new sheets on the bed. Over time the itching has gotten worse. In December it wasn't all that bad, I had little patches of psiarosis over my body but could deal with them. I can go a while without itching, it seems to be when someone touches my skin, it activates itchiness. I started off a few weeks ago with a scab on my hand just below my thumb, I have itched that much that new little scabs have formed and sometimes bleed, theres only a few, not a lot, I personally think that the amount I have itched, has spread infection and other scabs have formed. The other day, I found out that my Grandparents had had scabies, they went through weeks of tests and different dermatologists and the bloods came back fine and after about 4 different doctors, they said scabies and gave them cream. When they went back to England, the dermatologist said they hadn't had scabies, but dermatitis. What annoys me is that my doctor looked at my hand from a metre away and just said scabies, she didnt closely look or look at any other itches I seemed to have on my body, she said she wasn't even sure and has sent me for blood tests as she thinks Im allergic to something. If I did have/had scabies, I also find it strange that nobody else in my family is showing any signs, my Mum and my sister and Stepdad lived with my Grandparents during their apparent scabies scare, but nobody else has a rash or is itching, my boyfriend whom I share a bed with and engage in sexual contact with for the past few months, also never itches or has a rash, and my Grandparents were definitely not itching as bad as I am during this apparent scabies, I also show no signs of burrows or anything. I read that it is worse at night, but mine tends to be fine after a cold shower and moisturiser and I can go hours without itching intensely.

I put the scabies cream on 2 nights ago, I am not as itchy but definitely still itchy. I seem to stratch and a bump will raise up where I have itched, like a heat rash. I can deal with the fact that I might have scabies or had it, but I personally don't think I did, I have a strange feeling that it is something else?
