Kidney disease & itchy skin

I have been suffering with a really itchy neck off and on for months. Even up behind my ears get itchy. I take Claritin for it sometimes. It happens probably two or three times a month and lasts about 1 day. But a few months ago I was experiencing this itching and developed a rash that kind of looked like round bruises all in a line in the front of my neck. It only happens on my neck area including around my collar bone and back of neck but mostly front of my neck. Does this sound like it could be related to a kidney problem. I only started worrying when I started having back spasms come and go on either side of my back.

Hello. Do you take any tests of diagnosing kidney disease? How much is your creatinine and GFR? Generally speaking, high creatine and low GFR will result in itch. If you have no idea about the underlying reason of itch, you should take a kidney function test in hospital to figure it out. If it’s kidney disease, you can try to use Funeng Therapy that is quite professional in the field of kidney disease.

Could it be related to a possible food allergy?  Just a thought.
