Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar (dermatologist).
I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.
Do you also notice any skin rash along with itching?
I would suggest you a lab test for liver function i.e serum bilirubin and liver enzyme levels.
You may take an oral antihistamine e.g tab. Cetrizine 10mg once daily. It is available Over the counter.
In addition you may use a soothing lotion for local application on your hands and feet e.g calamine lotion.
