What Causes Severe Itchiness In The Fingers And Toes?

Today I ve suddenly developed very itchy fingers and toes. No redness or any visible cues, just increasingly itchier extremities. I ve taken a hot shower, appplied hydrocortisone, and taken Benadryl. Hoping that stops this. I m visiting my son and his wife and noticed the sheets smell of laundry detergent of fabric softener. Could that cause this? Thank you.
