Question : very itchy burning skin. I'm concern that it could be a blood disorder / cancer. This has been happening off and on over the last four months. It seems to be worse when the humidity is higher. It can happen in one place on the body like the neck behind the head, then the small fingers, then the wirst, then the face, whiskers, the area under the nose, like a nervous twitch, all at different places, lasting for a maybe 30 seconds and then its gone. "Pinging" around the body. The last four to five months I've noticed a slight trembling in my hands from time to tiime and a 'fluttering feeling' in my lower arms. Bowel movements haven't been as thorogh as they had been. Sometimes I feel slightly consipated.

Brief Answer:
Hello dear. It is not blood cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So certainly its not blood cancer. A blood cancer presents with abnormal bleeding, anemia, infection or bony pains or lymph nodes enlargement. You donot have any of these symptoms. I will advise you to get a complete blood counts done and visit a dermatologist for allergy check up.
Thanks and regards
