Itchy palms?

[Lola]

And no.. I'm not talking about money . My grandma has been complaining about her palms itching her, so my mom asked me to look on the internet for any information, like if it was a sympton of something.. And then she said if I couldn't find anything, to ask on the CB lol . I found one website that said it's a possible sympton for carpal tunnel syndrome. Anyone else know anything? Thanks a lot.

I have a lot of skin allergies, and the palms of my hands will itch when I touch something I'm allergic or sensitive to. Has she switched brands of soap or anything like that? It happens most often when I pull weeds without gloves on, but I've also been allergic to hand cream, fabric softeners, and tons of other normal things.

My palms itch really bad whenever the temperature of my hands changes quickly from cold to warm. When it's really bad, they also turn red and swell. I've been told that it could be a circulation issue or an allergy, and that's it might be related to sneezing whenever I go from cool temps into heat (happens a lot when I step into a parking lot). I've never gotten a direct answer about it.

Can she correlate it with anything, like hand washing, coming in from outside, using a cream, etc.?

DocRafiki...I used to have the same thing...i couldnt go for a run without breaking out in hives...and dealing with frozen food was miserable.
It went away when I had kids..go figure.

I hope she will see a doctor.

I found this link which sounds like what you are describing:

Amid... my legs also get really itchy when I exercise. Like I need ANOTHER excuse not to do it! Have you ever heard a definite explanation of what causes it?

I should try taking Benadryl to see if it's histamine-related.

I used to have this problem when I went into stores. It lasted about 6-8 months and just went away. Never really knew what caused it and it always went away after I left the store. Who knows it could of been Tim trying to get me not to spend any money.

Oh my goodness! I thought I was the only person in the world who got itchy thighs when I exercised! I'm glad I'm not the only one. If I take a long walk, my thighs are red by the time I get home because I scratch them so badly. It even happens when I do aqua-aerobics.
