What Causes Itching On Hands?

Periodically I get severe itching in my hands, including my fingers. It is usually one hand at a time and it begins around one fingers and it slowly spreads to the entire hand. The itching is very deep, almost as if it originates in the bones. It lasts about a week and then it s gone.
