What Causes Severe Itching On Hands, Fingers, Ankles And Feet?
The top of my hands, fingers, ankles and feet itch mostly at night and also after a bath/shower. Sometimes my arms and legs also itch. I scratch so much that I break the skin and bleed, leaving scars. Occasionally I get blisters on my fingers that also itch. This has been ongoing off and on for over a year or two. Now my stomach and mid back itch and those areas are numb.

It can be due to some fungal infection for which you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil itching or rashes. Apply clonet lotion or clo-trimazole cream locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
