Hi,

Itching and burning in both feet and hands. May be due to some cause. There may be vitamin B12 deficiency or allergic dermatitis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis and perfect treatment. Blood investigations may be done to rule out internal diseases.

Antihistaminics like levocetirizine may be taken to relieve itching and tab B12 may be taken regularly if there is B12 deficiency. Any internal disease is found, take treatment. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
