Suggest Treatment For Intense Itching In Hands And Feet

For the past year I have had what seems to be uncontrollable and intense itching esp in my hands and feet within the last six months ive noticed it more as a whole body itch mostly pertaining to my hands to elbows and my legs. Ive had Gi problems and had a esophageal lesion removed. I got curious and was reading about neuropathy and the descriptive tingling in the hands and feet along with the feeling of being of balance. My blood pressure seems somewhat high on a pretty regular basis. Should I be concerned?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have intense itching in hands and feet. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like psoriasis , eczema , scabies , diabetes or allergic reaction . I would suggest you to drink plenty of water , take over the counter anti histamine like benadryl , avoid food like nuts and sea food . Consult gastroenterology for proper examination . Doctor may order allergy test , blood test or take history . Doctor may also refer you to allergy specialist for allergy problem .
