What Causes Itching Rash On Hands, Feet, Elbows And Thighs?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have this weird rash (starts off blotchy then kind of becomes solid – maybe as I itch it). It is very itchy and it comes and goes. I usually get it about twice a day. It is usually on my hands (across my knuckles and spreads up my fingers), tops of my feet, elbows, wrists, knees, hips, lower abdomen and outer thighs. Like I said it comes on for about an hour and then disappears

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may need to note if it is coming in response to contact with any particular chemical agent or any particular environment.
If there is no clear pattern, you may want to consider allergy testing which can be in the form of a blood test or skin prick testing.
This would determine what is causing the reaction to occur.
I hope this helps
