What Causes Itching, Swelling And Burning Feeling In Arms And Legs?

Within past month, the itching, swelling, and burning feeling had gradually made it s way up my arms and legs. I feel it in my cheeks (warming and tingling) I work a graveyard shift that typically involves sitting behind a desk, and typing. It is during this time that my symptoms flare up. I also sweat a lot. Dripping sweat. Especially after showering.
