Could Severe Itching On Top Of Feet Be Due To Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia Treatment?

I Have CLL and am a W&W patient for 8 years. I have developed a terrible itch on the sides adn tops of my feet especially at night in bed. I have tried creams, lotions, anti-fungal over the counter powders, vaseline and nothing works for more than a day or two. Is there a connection between CLL and a lowered immune system? I feel pretty good for my age (77) and get tegular check-ups. las t week the CLL nurse practitioner said she thought there was no connection (?) Please help i am going nuts.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be hypersensitivity reaction and this may not be due to CLL, some time this could be more prominent with emotional stress, try "Tab Loratadine three times in day one tab and low down the stress, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
