Burning/Itching Hands

[jbsmithers]

For the past 6 months, I've had red burning itchy hands but ONLY when I go to the grocery store or retail stores to shop.  By the time I leave and get in the car, it's gone.  But it's so bad that it distracts me and I'm scared to touch anything in the stores.  I exercise, go to work, and do other things out in the community and I never have this symptom until I enter a place where you would shop.  I didn't think that I hated shopping that bad?!

Right, thats what I was thinking at first but it also does this in the mall when I do not make purchases.  And I've even went into the grocery store and avoided touching things and it still happened.

I can get home with groceries and unload them and not have any symptoms at all, it is only inside these stores.  Sort of made me wonder if it's anxiety about shopping or something?

That means you have an allergic reaction to something that you've touched in the grocery store. Look at the plastic bags or the paper bags. Sometimes there are glues or solvents used that are bad for you.
