I have had this before when I was living in Africa, my body was being attacked my microscopic mites and the body could work out where they were. The mites were under the first few layers on skin on my hand, my whole body was itching.
My immune system felt it was under attack, scratching stimulates the release of endorphins. These are naturally occurring opiates which block pain sensation. We release a flood of endorphins to block the pain of the initial injury, while the scratching only injures our skin only a little more. The gain from the endorphins thus outweighs the loss from the slight injury.

How can you tell if marks on someone's upper thighs are track marks or from scratching itchy skin?
Home drug test. In addition to a drug test, there are some ways you may be able to tell visually. Are the marks near major veins? Are they in a line that seems to follow the path of the vein underneath the skin? If someone is just scratching itchy skin, the lines would probably just be red, and maybe a bit raised, as if someone's dragged their fingernails across that patch of skin. Track marks on the other hand would look like little pin pricks.
