Do you think you might have an allergy to some things on other people (such as cologne, pet dust, laundry detergents, foods, etc) which become magnified when you are in a crowd close together, or some things at the mosque (carpet, dust, mold/mildew, etc)?
And could there be a psychological reason too, such as social anxiety?
Anyway I hope you are able to find a cure for your itching, inshallah.
