What Causes Severe Itching In Hands?

My hands itch if I apply pressure to them. Then it will go away completely. I may lean on the edge of the table and I get a red line on my skin. It hurts a bit, but mostly itches. I am doing good and am not scratching it, as then it gets worse and takes longer to go away. Do I have hives or what. I have had lots of stress in my life recently, but am slowing down and it is letting up some, but not completely. Tell me what I should do to get over this. THANK YOU

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate this, such itching could be due to hypersensitivity reaction, the trigger factor of this could be emotional stress, such itching is self limiting if this happens on and often then this can be best managed with "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day, hope this information helps, take care.
