What Causes Itching On The Palms?

Started to have episodes 1 year ago. All of a sudden for no reason my palms of my hands will start to itch, then my feet and then my whole body. From here I start to feel flushed and end up in the bathroom vomiting and diarrhea violently for several hours. At some point I usually pass out on floor of bathroom and when I wake up I crawl into bed, go to sleep, and wake up feeling fine but tired. These were about once a month until February when they became more frequent. can happen 3 or 4 times in month now, never know when though just happen for not particular reason

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Itching palms spreading to complete body....followed by diarrhea, vomiting an be leading to exhaustion seems to be-
- Most probably allergy to medicines including antibiotics/ some specific type of food...You have to find it out by self observation or with help of an allergy specialist or pathological tests ( for gluten or lactose in tolerance)& avoid it / get desensitization therapy for allergy.
- Liver problem with jaundice. can be found / excluded by simple pathological tests & treated by a gastroenterologist.
Thanks
