What Causes Itchiness In Fingers And Arms And Swollen Eyes?
Hello, I m a 58 yr old woman. I woke up at 5:30 am with itchiness between two fingers on my right hand, then it started itching between two fingers on my left hand. Then both arms were really itchy. It took approx. 1/2 an hour to stop. Then when I woke up this morning my right eye is really swollen. Should I go see a doctor?
