[Everything doTERRA] itching from oils and insomnia

I've been using 1-2 drops of clove, rosemary, and basil diluted with lots of FCO over my adrenals at night to help with insomnia. It works wonderfully. Before these oils, I would wake up at night anxious and with my brain thinking of many things. I would then be up for at least 2 hours before I could relax and sleep again. With the oils, I sleep through the night. If I do wake up, I am able to relax and go back to sleep. It truly is a miracle for me. I have been using these oils for 3 months. 

The problem is, that in the last few weeks, I get very itchy where I apply the oils the next day. If I use them a few days in a row, I get a raised rash on my arms, legs, and chest that is also itchy. If I stop the oils, the itching stops. 

Can you tell me what causes the itching? Am I just getting sensitive to the oils? I have spot tested each oil neat (except I diluted clove) on my forearm, one at a time, and I get no reaction on my skin at all. 

Can you suggest what other oils I can use to substitute? I'm missing the oils because without them my sleep is terrible. Lavender and Serenity do not help with my sleep. 

I have been taking LLV for several months. I take the PB Assist once a day, and have been for 2 months. I also eat a pretty good diet with no artificial ingredients at all. 

Thank you for your help.
