What Causes Severe Itching In The Feet And Head?

I have terrible itching for the past three days which I attribute to taking one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for three mornings. I stopped when I felt terrible after the third day and then I started itching all over including in the sole of my feet and head. I am type 2 diabetic and I did some internet research and found out about the interaction with the vinegar with my meds. Am I in danger now and when can I expect the itching to stop? I am panicking because I read other scary symptoms of itching but I believe it is because I am diabetic. Please help. Thanks, Maria

Hi,

It can be hives or allergic eruption.

You can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist, you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
