What Could Cause Itchy Scalp, Forearms And On Lower Leg, That Breaks Into Hives On Itching?

Itchy scalp, itchy posterior forearms when itched turn into hives. Itchy skin generally all over but more so along lower leg compartment near ankles. Thought it was water softner salt issues but we've since moved and the itch is getting worse. Could stress and lack of sleep add to this itch? I've never had this before.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really understand your concern, this could be hypersensitivity reaction, of course it does happens due to stress but here in your case it would be very early to label it stress related one, the most of such cases having Idiopathic origin, I would suggest you the following drug and it may help you.
1) Hydroxyzine 10 mg three times in day.
Take care and have good time.
