Could Glucosamine Cause Itching And Burning Sensation In Arms?

my upper arms itch and burn. There is not really a rash there but the itching does not stop. Sometimes it hurts and a little bit of pins and needles. Is i possible that glucosamine could be causing this? I started taking a supplement of it about a month ago.

Any drug or supplement can cause allergies in the body. If it is so, then it should be discontinued. To relieve the itch, anti-allergic medication such as levocetrizine should be taken. Calamine lotion can be applied locally to relieve itch.
