ITCHY PALM PLEASE HELP!!!

I've been having an itchy palm since the middle of August! Nothing seems to work! I'm going crazy and so scared that it can be something else. Has anyone ever experienced this??? It seems as though theres a tiny bump under the skin, can this cause the itching?? All my doctors are stumped at this point!! PLEASE HELP!

I've just noticed small itchy painless bumps on palm of hands..I scratch them then bumps go away and it turns into what looks like a flaky skin..I've NEVER had any problems like this..could it be from stress and how long should I wait to goto doc?

After i had my daughter 2yrs ago i started experiencing the same symptoms .very itchy red palms that swell red but in patches not the entire palm. I want to a dermatotigist but they couldnt figure it out , ive also had multiple allergy testings and nothing. Dove soap and cold water seem to help for temporary relief but im telling you the burning and itching is enough to make you wanna scratch your hand raw .

This was a really good hint. At least for me, I'm now thinking that some kind of fibromatosis is in play here. The nodules under the skin, palms and soles involved... Good news is, PABA supplements might help. I'm going to try that and report back. Beats jumping right to surgery or radiation.

I get this occasionally. Itchy left palm (right handed) or sometimes the feet or ankles...mine seems to be allergy related. One time I broke out in hives all over my hands/feet/legs/arms and they gave me a prescription for Atarax. I still have it...so when I feel the itching start, I take one of those and it goes away....so perhaps you guys should talk to your doctor about getting a prescription for Atarax. It actually happened to me last night and today...both times, took Atarax and it went away.

THIS IS A FORM OF ECZEMA CALLED DISHYDROSIS - GOOGLE THE IMAGES - TELL ME IF I'M LYING. STEROIDAL CREAMS HELP. I PREFER OLIVE OIL MIXED WITH A LITTLE CALAMIDE - COTTON GLOVES AT NIGHT. I LIVE WITH THIS **** AND HOPEFULLY I'VE GOT IT LICKED FOR AWHILE.
