Itchy Hands When Contact With Cooked Chicken. Reason?

Hello, I love to cook but find myself with terribly itchy hands after being in contact with cooked chicken . When I carve a chicken and then after supper remove meat from the carcass my hands begin to itch and I have to wash them a few times to calm the itching sensation. As far as I'm aware I do not suffer from any other allergies etc but this puzzles me somewhat? I would be very interested to hear your thoughts regarding this itching . Many thanks.

Allergist and Immunologist 's  Response
anything can react suddenly to body proteins it i not like taht you havenot suffered from allergy so you cannot be allergic
need to know if you are allergic to chicken or any component used for cooking
you can use antiallergic ointment or tab sos if allergy occur but if you can prevent it prevent allergens
or if you dont prevent food immunotherapy is latest in treatments
