I once had faint white lumps under skin of the palms of my hands (and soles of feet) that itched so badly I it drove me mad. The only way to stop it was to put them in iced water. I spoke to a friend and he’d suffered the same thing in childhood. He said it was sugar. Back then I used to have a high sugar diet, went on a trip for 4-6 weeks and ate hardly any sugar at all. When I came home I went back to my old diet and the itching started. I made no connection at the time. After speaking to my friend I cut out sugar from my diet and the itching stopped within a few days. I hope this helps.

Bashi, Only medical tests can accurately show your condition. In my opinion, if your itchiness will continue to progress you have to consult a dermatologist. If your health will improve you don’t have to worry.

I am a man of 53 years ol age, African and living in Botswana. I have itchy palms. I am not superstitious at all but I have not, until lately, paid much attention to the itchiness – merely dismissing it as a minor nuisance. However, upon reading your article above I have become concerned to learn that a chronic kidney failure has itchy palms as its primary symptom and so does hyper or hypothyroidism. In the mid ’80s I suffered from hyperthyroidism, for which I was successfully treated. I am, as far as I am aware, very healthy, but for the itchy palms. I do not smoke but I have a taste for red wine. Do I have reason to be worried? Bashi
