What Causes Itching Sensation In Feet/thighs/arms/wrist?
Hello, I'm having itching sensations in my feet, inner thighs, my arms, and my wrist. Any clue what this might be? I'm coming off of prescription pain medicine from years of being on it and my friend passed away recently. I'm past the withdrawal phase from my medicine tho.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Itching from neck to ankle or both upper and lower limbs could be due to subcutaneous candidiasis, a topic dermatitis, allergic reactions,urticaria or hives, or some medical disorders like DM,jaundice, uremia etc.
Which prescription medicine you were taking for which particular reason?You should provide this information which might help us to arrive at a particular diagnosis.
You must try antifungal oral medications once with the help of dermatologist with other supportive treatment.
Also you should take immunoglobulins with consultation of dermatologist.
If still no diagnosis or cure then it would be advisable to consult physician to rule out any medical disorders.
You can go for allergic testing of food and other substances but they are not such reliable.
Regards,
