A member asked:

I have been having extremely itchy skin. Starts on hands and feet. Sometimes on the rest of my body. There are no marks to show any signs of rash. That is until I claw myself to death. Wondered if it may be a sign of diabetes. Never had this before. Lotion does not help. I have not changed any kind of soap or shampoo or detergent. I can take a Benadryl and it will stop. Itching?
