What Causes Frustrating Itching At Nights With Cramps In The Feet?
Since last night I have been itching like crazy without a rash. It feels like the veins on my feet and hands are itching. And I also get the sensation of something / an ant working on my legs. As of lately I have also been having bad cramps in my feet . I am a 34 year old mother of 3. What do you think could be the cause of this? Thank you

Hi,
Don't worry I will help you with your concern. As per your complaint, it seems you have developed scabies infection.
Scabies is an infection caused by a parasite. It spreads by contact. In scabies infection, itching occurs mainly in hand and feet web space but whole body is involved mostly. Check if your kids has any tiny itchy bumps. Does this itching worse at night?
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
