What Causes Itchiness And Tenderness Of Skin On Hands And Feet?

I'm 52, non-smoker, eat well, drink moderately (5 - 8 drinks/week; wine, beer, spirits), am slightly over-weight, and have good blood pressure (122/82). I just recovered from a head cold (week prior to this incident). I have not been around any poison oak or other such plants. I have never experienced anything like this before.
Need you to observe a few things for me sir
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. From the provided information it appears as though you are most probably experiencing either an allergic (hypersensitive) reaction or this could be an indication of some underlying condition.
Let us first discuss the possibility of this being an allergic reaction. Please think carefully, take your time and if necessary make note of all the items you have come in contact with, eaten, etc; over the past two days (when you experienced the reaction). Please do pay more emphasis over things you may have come in contact with, eaten, etc; closer to bedtime. The items can include new conditioner for your clothes, linen, etc; detergents, saving cream, moisturiser, food items, drinks, perfume, deodorant, etc; and write back to me with anything new or suspicious.
The next possibility includes some underlying condition like liver abnormalities, sexually transmitted diseases, systemic conditions (e.g. SLE) which could produce such a rash, etc.
I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further. Please also feel free to write to me with any extra information or clarifications.
Thank you sir.
