Suggest Cause And Remedy For Itchiness In Hands And Arms
I ate skate fish for the first time last night and immediately my hands and arms even my neck started itching. I stopped eating it right away and was okay shortly after. I am in my early sixties.. Was this an allergic reaction. I do not eat any shellfish as I am allergic to them.

Hi, allergy to fishfood is very common. It causes urticarial reaction which further cause itching, redness, swelling etc. You should avoid the such food and if you get such allergic reaction take some antihistaminics like levocitrizine or fexofenadine
