It might be: Or due to medications you may be taking, represent contact dermatitis (skin allergy) or have dry skin. If using moisturizers do not help, talk to your doctor to determine the specific cause.

Diabetic neuropathy?: Without additional history or exam findings, it is difficult to tell for sure. But, my suspicion is that you may have peripheral diabetic neuropathy--the classic stocking-glove distribution of areas affected--feet/hands. Burning or itching/tingly sensation are early symptoms. I would suggest consulting with doc for some simple office testing and find out the cause of your symptoms. Good luck.

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?
