Ladies, I am hoping someone can help me.
A couple of weeks ago I started getting itchy hands which used to be a sign I was anemic. Low iron in my blood test confirmed that it was low. It spread to my feet too and the midwife put me on a multi-vitamin to help with iron levels but it has just continued to get worse and I can NOT cope much more with the itching. I am using a cream recommended by the pharmacist called Eurax and it helps a little but not much.
I have an appointment first thing in the morning to see the doctor but I was just curious if anyone had any ideas of what it can be and what I can do at home to help before I cut of my hands and feet.
The pics are just of one hand, both hands and feet are the same and they are rather swollen.
