What Causes Itchiness In Palms, Toes And Neck?

hi, I have a question, what could that be and what I should do about it? My toes, rather between toes on one foot , the center of my palms, the back of the neck, where neck meets head get very itchy every day. I've had this condition on and off for a few years, but now it became unbearable. Could that be an allergy, lack of
vitamins? Please, help. thank you

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Your symptoms could be because of allergy OR scabies. I would suggest you to visit a dermatologist once for detailed examination. if its scabies then simple lotion application for 3 consecutive days will help you. In case of allergy I would suggest you to under go allergy testing at allergy clinic as you have chronic allergy problem. It will tell that you are allergic to what specific thing. The results will help an allergist to prescribe you immunotherapy to that specific allergen and it will improve the problem.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
