1 year old itching really badly

Hi, my 12 month old is really bad for scratching herself, mainly shoulders and back. She used to have quite bad eczema however we’ve managed to really control it and her skin is actually quite good now - but it’s covered in scratches and cuts from where she scratches. It’s mainly when she’s bored, tired or frustrated. We use scratch mitts at bedtime but she can pull them off and Piriton but it doesn’t help. To be honest I just want to know why it’s happening rather than just trying to put a plaster over it. Do you think it could be an allergy? It’s really hard on both me and my partner watching her claw at her skin :(

It could be an allergy especially if she's had eczema. Do you use non bio laundry detergent?
