What Causes Itching On The Forearms And Legs?

I ve had itchy skin on my forearms and lower legs and around my jaw bone line, ear to ear as well as swollen skin directly around my eyes. I had this for 3.5 weeks and it went away while taking a thymus PMG supplement but came back after 2 weeks of no symptoms. Just wondering what is causing it. It is not allergies to air/pollen, etc. My eyes themselves are not itchy. Any ideas?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice..

Your symptoms are pointing towards allergic reaction only.
If eyes are not itchy then also it can be due to allergic reaction to any food or medications.
You should consult an Allergist or Immunologist and get evaluated.
An allergy test can be done to rule out the allergen.
You can be advised anti allergy medicine like Levocetrizine or Allegra and also use ice packs over swelling and itchy areas.
Apply Caladryl lotion.
Drink plenty of water
You can also be advised Immunotherapy for gradral reduction in the symptoms

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
