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!

Sounds like the same as I have.  The itch is unbearable. Little pin sized bumps.  The skin drys then gets leathery then cracks and peels.  Hurts like a paper cut.  Mine started in June, now in Late October, I'm still breaking out on palms and sides of fingers.  

I'm trying hot then cold packs to get some circulation going.  I'm now taking vitamin E, Zinc, and Vitamin D.  As well as my usual calcium/magnesium.  
I'm hoping this helps. After week one it appears to be healing, but still itching with the feeling of something moving under my skin.  

Please let me know if you find a cure. My prescription of  Triaderm 1% cream did not work for me.

Mine started in jan 2013 after an allergic reaction to an antidepressant I find antihistamine works but when really bad I have steroids from the doctor that takes it right down I'm going to get gloves cos at the moment anything can start them off

Let us know what you find out. You have described exactly what is happening to me right now and has been an issue for a couple of weeks. Its just the one spot on the lower thumb side of my palm and seems to have a clear bump under the skin. It does feel pinchy somewhat when I itch it.

By reading these comments, I have a feeling it could be one of 2 things: fake silver earrings. I noticed that my ears burned the other day but i ignored it, and now I have the worst red itchy circle on my right palm. Or I have heard that certain antibiotics cause severe itchy red patches on your palm...Hmmm?

This could be Primary Biliary Cirrhosis. Get your doctor to do the necessary blood tests.
