See your physician: See your physician for a complete history and physical. There are many causes other than an allergic on you are focused on. Lupus and roseacae are part of the differential diagnosis. I had several patients who after a detailed exam found out it was their eye cream causing hives and another lupus. Find and treat the underlying cause.

Hives: Dr. Huang could be correct but 1 in 4 people at some point in their life will get hives. More often than not it is not what you are putting on the outside of your body (soaps, lotions, etc) but rather something is a little haywire in your body. Skin is the largest organ in your body, so illness can manifest there 1st sometimes. An allergist or dermatologist is best suited to find the cause.

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?
