Hives? Have you changed your washing powder?

I had an itch in random parts of my body a few weeks ago. It was persil washing gels tablets. Chucked them out and rewashed everything. Bit of a shock as I'm not normally allergic.

Not recently.
The worst affected areas are my hands, especially the area where I wear my wedding ring, and around my thumbs and where the fingers join, and my legs, especially the thighs. have also beeng etting itchy scalp - and yes I have checked for nits.
In fact I'm making my self itch thinking aobut it all.
its starting to bother me a bit

Scabies?

Itching between fingers is classic sign.

You won't want to hear this but it could be scabies. The hands are often the worse affected.

Snap!

Where could I have got it from though?

I was thinking scabies too. Sorry. Can you see any little lines under the skin? Can cause all-over body itching not just where the mites are.

No lines, but do get tingling in my skin. Will maybe put some E45 on to see if that will ease it, it's driving me scatty

Scabies

It is horrible, I had it last year. But easily sorted out and best to get it checked as everyone in the house needs treating (even if asymptomatic).

Don't worry but it does sound like scabies between the fingers. Other have given you the links. Its just one of those things.
