Can Amoxycillin Cause Severe Itching And Redness In The Hands?

I am wondering if amoxycillin can cause severe itching and redness in the hands. I have been taking it for a few days now, but it seems within about an hour of each dose over the last couple of days my hands begin to itch awfully. It is worse each time. I can't think of anything else that I can tie to this symptom.
