Skin is itchy

For the past couple of days my skin all over has felt itchy. I am not sure if this is connected but my feet last night were burning hot and itchy. I haven't changed washing liquid or anything. Has anyone ever had this or has experience? TIA

could be a million causes blossomhill. "Eurax" lotion or cream is very very good for relieving this type of itch though, and you can buy it over the counter now

My mum said it could be a sign of kidney problems? It has freaked me out. I will go to the gp but obviously not until Tuesday now.

Have you ate something unusual lately or an unusual amount of a regular food? sometimes it could be an allergic reaction but I wouldn't worry unless it lasts for some days.

It's really weird as I had the burning feet when I was in labour with ds (nearly 7 years ago. Maybe it's a hormonal thing as I am on at the moment.
Too much information - sorry .

PC - Sorry if I sounded a bit abrupt it's just I am the most un-broody mum you will ever come across. I think it was the 19 month age gap between my 2 ds (61/2) and dd (5 on tuesday) that put me off

Could still be Obstetric cholestasis even though you are not pregnant. A very small proportion of wome get it on a monthly basis - it's basically because the liver is particularly sensitive to oestroegon and high levels of oestrogen are usual in pregnancy, but also during your period. If it happens at the same time mext month I would have You need to have LFT's and bile acid tests - but you will need the blood to be taken when you are itching.
