first, rule out an allergic reaction. look for hives, patches of redness, bumps or swelling, etc.

second, the itchy palms and feet may be a side effect of one of the medications or of a combination of medications. or it may be a side effect of the infection.

i would investigate first the paraxim 500.

paraxim is a diuretic, which can lead to dehydration. dehydration can affect blood pressure and circulation. in this way, via dehydration/poor circulation, paraxim 500 may indirectly cause itchy palms and feet.

hello...

its not of much concern as i gather information from your history. itchy rashes are part of the ricketssial infections. just you can take Tab ALLEGRA OD HS for 5 days, and apply lotion CALYDRIL BD over affected areas.
