The palms of my hands have been very itchy for two days now. Last night I woke at 2am to my legs and torso also also being itchy although that has resolved itself over the day. 19 days ago I had a breast reduction and resection of an ancillary flap from a mastectomy. All areas where there are stitches were also very itchy but relieved by cold compresses. The palms are still flaring up though. My daughter, a midwife, says that when their clients have these symptoms it s a pregnancy complication causing bile production problems. However I mm68 years old and single so definitely not pregnancy related.
