why do my hands and feet itch at night?

Accepted Answer

Itchy hextremities: Can be caused for the following reasons:  1) diabetes, 2) eczema, 3) seasonal allergies or 4) vascuar problems.  If you try otc zyrtec (cetirizine) or Hydrocortisone creams without relief, then make an appointment with an immunologist or your pcp to have your blood checked for type 2 diabetes.  If that is normal, then you may need to see a vascular/cardiologist to assess your bloodflow.  Don't delay!

Question 2

what are the side of  effects that cause the side of my feet itch more at night  by itching it a lot  where it shows red small dots  from itching it?

Accepted Answer

Fungus or eczema: You probably have s fungal infection on the plantar aspect of your feet.  The fungal infection causes itching, probably more so at night because you are aware of it, since you are barefoot in bed and have more access to your feet.
