ITCHY PALM PLEASE HELP!!!

I've been having an itchy palm since the middle of August! Nothing seems to work! I'm going crazy and so scared that it can be something else. Has anyone ever experienced this??? It seems as though theres a tiny bump under the skin, can this cause the itching?? All my doctors are stumped at this point!! PLEASE HELP!

Are you still having the problem. I just started having it :( All the sudden my palms get itchy and have red spots beneath the surface. It seems If i grab a fork or something like that to fight  the itch it will subside with a few minutes-1/2 hr. I can't figure it out. I's happening on the soles of my feet too....Thank you for your help.

I have had an itchy leathery spot on my right palm for a while now.  It's getting worse.  I use a wireless mouse for many hours each day.  I just realized that it's probably from the constant radiation going straight to that hand.  This is something that doesn't occur to people and that the wireless industry doesn't want to talk about.  But just because it's invisible doesn't mean it isn't powerful.

Exact same situation I had for a couple of year.  "Tecnu" solved my problem. Haven't got it for almost 3 months now.  See previous post above yours. Let us know if it works for you.

the Palms of my hands seem to have tiny red bumbs "inside" and it is seriously " disturbingly" itchy. sometimes it feels like micro needles pricking my palms. Thick layers of skin from the fingertip till the wrist have fallen off ever since I got this particular ailment nearly a month ago. Help is needed here!

Possible solution 'tecnu'. I have had this problem for a couple of years. The itch drove me crazy.  Lasted about 3 weeks, would clear up for 1 week and then start over again.  Only on my right palm everytime. Tried everything.  Then about 2 months ago, the 1st day it started, I tried a product I picked up at Walgreens called 'tecnu'.  It was very cheap. Says it is to remove poison oak and ivy oils. Even though I didn't have either of these, I figured I would try it anyway as I exhausted every other solution. Put it on immediately and repeated at the first itch and after 2 days problem was gone and has not come back yet, 2 months later!!! Please try it and let me know if any one out there has success.

I think it could be associated with touching bare metal that are not painted. Metal tend to cause this type of palm itching. I use alcohol to neutralize the itching and the reaction from the hand exposure/contact to metal object that are not coated or painted. Try 90% alcohol to help stop itching a couple of times a day. Hope this helps.
