What Causes Severe Itching On The Hands?
Both my hands had uncontrollable itching for about an hour Thursday night. I took a Benadryl and rubbed Benadryl cream on my hands. The next morning my hands were swollen. I went to the doctor, he gave me steroid pills. Only thing I did Thursday was cut the grass on a riding mower. What would cause my hands to itch so bad and nothing else?

Hello,
It might be due to conditions like eczema.
As a first line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like Betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
