palms and feet itching

Hello everyone, I have noticed in the last few weeks my hands and feet have been itching really bad, it last for maybe 10 minutes at about 4 times a day. no rash, no bumps, no nothing and most of all no money! Has anyone experienced this same problem and have an answer? It would be appreciated.

No change in food or med, seems like it happens while washing my hands and  no change in soap. This is strange with no change in anything. U know it seems like it happens when my feet or hands get in water! Strange huh?

I had this in the last trimester of pregnancy.  Wow, can drive you nuts, can't it?  My doc told me to use Cortaid to help with the itch.  Have you tried that?

This has happened to me on two occasions.  Both times were after I finished taking a prescription for something.  The first time my dermatologist prescribed medication for my rosacea.  2 weeks after the medication I developed the itching in the palms of my hands and feet.  The second time my Gyno prescribed medication for an infection and 1 week later I developed the itchy palms and upper chest.  These are all allergic reactions.  The first time I didn't know what was wrong with me, I too was waiting for money to come into my life, but after a week and that didn't happen, I went to a Walk-in clinic and they gave me prescription strength Benedryl and told me I was having an allergic reaction.  The second time, I noticed the symptoms so just waited it out and took Benedryl daily until it resolved itself.  
Have you taken anything new recently? Have you changed a soap, laundry detergent, or ate something new recently?  These could all be what's causing your symptoms.
