Q: Itchy Fingers And Toes
asked by: monika on March 11th, 2004

Hey everyone. I am hoping someone out there has some advice. I think I have circulation issues in my fingers and toes. Recently, the fingers have started. I am so frustrated!! When both my hands and feet get hot and sweaty, they turn red on their own and unbelievabley itch. My skin is not dry at all. They just go bright red! It usually happens when I am lying down or sitting. Please help!!!!! Ps. My mother has had the same problem for years but she has scratched so much over the years the skin is beyond repair. Crying or Very sad

Reminds me of my raynaud's symptoms, or possibly poor circulation (which is essentially what raynauds is but there can be other causes for poor circulation too) or allergies might cause these symptoms. Go see your dr &/or check on a search engine for symptoms of poor circulation, raynauds.

There are vitamins which can help, I suggest you check for natural remedies or natural relief for raynauds or for circulation problems. I don't take anything as i've learnt to control it, I don't put my hands into hot water (i never checked the kids baths!! As raynauds usually means you can't feel how hot the water is, in fact in severe cases people have burnt their hands & not known until they smelt their flesh burning) also I don't hold cold things for long or allow my hands & feet to get cold as this has a negative affect on them in terms of redness & itch etc.

The vitamin is "gingko bilboa" take a high dose & then adjust to suit yourself, also vitamins that assist liver & kidney function as these organs cleanse the blood & so that would help aid improved circulation.

Treatment wise - keep your hands & feet warm (not hot or cold) keep them out of/away from very hot things/water & out of/away from very cold water/things.
