I've been having really itchy palms and feet for the past three days. There aren't any rashes, but whenever I scratch, the skin gets all red. It's starting to worry me a bit. What could be causing this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as dyshidrotic eczema. For relief from itching and redness, you can try using over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream on the affected areas. Additionally, taking oral antihistamines such as cetirizine can help with itching. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with a dermatologist for further evaluation and management.
