You could have an allergic reaction to a medication that you take, extremities and arms usually get the itches first.
Some reactions do not present themselves till you add heat or sweat.
Personally ibuprofen drives me itch cray cray.
Thorazine the same way.

As for those pepper plants ....check under the leaves for caterpillars ....I have some caterpillars that turn sideways along the stem to camouflage themselves on my spider plants....... but their turds always give them away
