Non-consistant itching on palms of hands and feet under skin

[Cielito7678]

For a few days now I have been experiencing itching on my plams of hands and feet but it's not a consent thing.  I thought maybe it could have been an allergic reaction to tomatoes or some other food.  I have been taking some natural detox for the blood in pills form, I was feeling ok but last nite and this morning my hands started up again but not terrible that i want to rip them off, it's more of a burning irritating itch that is under the skin, no rash no dry skin and it tends to be activated when I do things like opening a soda bottle top or holding the retractable lead for the dogs...I guess if there is a certain kind of pressure and rubing againist the hands they start to bother me and usually cold water or ice, anything cold makes it feel better.  I had experienced a migraine a few days ago but I get those normally so I dont know if that has something to do with it.  Any ideas on what would cause this kind of itching on the palms of the hands and feet under the skin??  I really hope it's not something were I need to go see a doctor, no insurance and no job = no money :(

Hi Everyone,

This itching just started a few days ago. I have tried so many things that have been mentions. Nothing seems to help. It's like needles an pins all over my body, one portion at a time. My hands and feet are the worst. I'm going to take an nondrowsy allergy pill in a few minutes...hope it helps. I itch so bad it makes me cry, it's like being tortured all day long. I did get my Medical Marijuana card and used it the last three night and I didn't have any itching. I got the kind to help me sleep and it works well. But can't use it during the day.
Does anyone have the itching all over your body?
I'm getting blood text in a few days, reg. test with kidney and Thyroid. I had Thyroid problems before.
I will keep you posted. Good luck everyone...blessing

Hi! I doubt ill find you now..but i was wondering if you ever figured out why your hand were itching do bad?

As I was at the sink this morning I had a sudden itching at the back of my head, bad enough I used my hair brush to soothe it.  A few minutes later as I was preparing breakfast my palms started itching, and the back of my hands as well, though not as much.  Figured maybe I was having an allergic reaction to a bug bite, although I've never experienced anything like this before.  I rubbed my hands on a towel for 10 minutes and it seemed to ease up.  Got in the shower, and within a few minutes of getting out the feet started itching!  OMG that was the worst!!  Finally took an allergy pill and that helped a bit, but feet are still moderate itchy almost three hours later.  I'll try some intensive hydrating since I'm home all day and see if that helps.

I have been going through this for 10 years now. It starts with itchy scalp-(crown itch), followed by my palms and feet. I take an allergy pill daily which helps and i get a cheaper version from costco called Aller-tec. Its a 1 year supply for only $15. When i forget to take the allergy pill for a day or two, the itching comes back with a vengeance especially after a shower when i am towelling. We need a cure for this.

I've also been experiencing these same issues. Stayed with just my scalp itching for the first couple of days, which I thought was just dry scalp/skin due to the dry winter were having but then the tips of my fingers, palms and bottoms of my feet starting itching terribly and accompanied with a slight burning sensation at times mostly on the tips of my fingers and palms.  Its almost and uncontrollable and unberable itch at times. It's now been going on for 5 days and I am also in search of an answer to what it could be. First thought was this has to be an allergic reaction but then I read it could be symptoms of liver problems/cirrhosis, diabetes, hypothyroidism(which I have)and have experienced very mild itchiness and dry skin at times, but nothing like this. Im just stumped add to what could be causing it. Any comments on anyone figuring out what it could be would be appreciated.

I'm 36, only my feet itch, the bottoms, sometimes in-between the toes, mainly the bottom, vitamins made it worse, fish oil made it worse, stress/anxiety triggers my itching, thought i was getting fired the other day and had to take my shoe off at my desk, got ready for sex with my wife, in mid stroke, kept stroking but noticed my feet was on fire with itching...I've used two types of prescribed cream, and athletic foot powders and sprays...no luck! i'm still searching for relief but has made note of all of the above.

Dear all, I was browsing this problem coz I have been having it on n off again - I was sad that so many of you need a solution and guess what I understood I have to share the solution that worked for me---these itching are only due to lack of water! That's all! When I was a teenager, I was heavily into hours of sports and used to dehydrate fast and it would start itching and burning my palms and soles and even skin boils would start all over my body leaving me drained energy-wise. Since many years it had stopped since I stopped that high level of sport. Antihistamines always help, and vit b also does as they hastened the water absorption rate in the body. Last month, I travelled and was dehydrated a hell lot! Since then it started again! I was drinking maybe 1 l per day which was obviously not enough. N even if I drank more, I was only peeing a lot! Obviously, as I wasn't absorbing the water! Electrolytes were down and so was sodium and vit B in the body was also super low! Now I am home and resting and going back into routine...my water absorption rate is slowing getting rebalanced as I am eating properly. So my 2-3 litres per day is helping. I also used to have acute skin rash/boils all over my body the moment I was sweating! Now it has all stopped ever since my water drinking has increased! Please observe your own drinking habits and if you find that retention is not happening. Avoid diuretic drinks [I was having too much of green tea too]  I recommend taking a pinch of salt and then drink 2 glasses of water. It will activate the retention and slowly and slowly drinking the 2-2.5 litres per day will help you! Use it for a few days, until you drink normally... It worked for me and I hated the irritation I used to get! So, sharing my tip... Hope it helps you people too...

I have had this problem for a few months and I went to every doctor imaginable nobody could tell me anything but there was a common denominator with every doctor/specialist I saw they all said I was dehydrated yes when ur dehydrated ur body gives off a histamine response drank 60 oz of water everyday cleared it up immediately within a week

I am a 71 year old male. I just finished an episode of both of my palms itching like crazy. I used  soft hair brush for some relief. Shortly thereafter all my toes and the area behind the toes started the same itching. I found some relief by taking off my socks and rubbing my itching feet on the carpet. I have seen a dermatologist about this and was prescribed Clobetasol .05% cream. It doesn't work other than psychologically it is something to do. Some triggers are garden soil on my hands, rubber garden gloves and sweaty feet in wet socks. I am on a daily antihistamine already. I will try another doctor to see if there are any known causes and treatments. Like others who have posted, it drives me crazy when an itching onslaught occurs.
