I've never had skin issues before but a few days ago I was holding a ladder outside for my hubby in the cold and my hands suddenly started itching insanely went red and swelled slightly, it went in an hour. The next day I took my Dogg for a walk and by the time I got home my hands and legs were itching like crazy and red. I literally leave the house in the cold now and my legs and hands go red and itch like mad. Hand anyone had it come on this fast and is it always this bad?? I've been on Sertraline for 7 weeks and a week ago my GP upped my dosage. Is there a chance it's linked to this? They said it can't be as it's only affected by the cold but I just feel like my skin is ultra sensitive, even brushing it with clothing makes me itch. Feeling uncomfortable and a bit lost, any help or reassurance is very welcome. Google has of course scared the living ... out of me.
