I love massages and go once a month, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. Now that I am pregnant I am itchy too as my skin changes. I also LOVE having my back scratched, whether I am itchy or not!
I have always been hesitant to ask my therapist to scratch my back though, because I have never been offered this service or seen it on a spa menu. As a result I guess I assumed it was more of an intimate/personal thing OR was something they teach you not to do in massage school for some reason. Can you ask to have this included without weirding anyone out? I'm just thinking a normal massage and then maybe 15m of the hour being devoted to gentle scratching, esp. back, neck and arms, and I'd be glad to tip extra for it. It is just the best, most relaxing experience in the world when it's done right!
