Itchy palms driving me crazy!



Recommended Posts

Help!! I had my sleeve surgery 13 days ago and all of a sudden the palms of my hands are itchy constantly and are driving me crazy!!! There is no rash. I have always used hand lotion and my hands aren't dry......Anyone going through this??????

@@Beachy I would use some cortisone cream if you have any. Tell your Dr and see if you can take some Benadryl. It sounds like you may be having an allergic reaction to something.

you are having an allergic reaction to something, take some benadryl and talk to your doc about it....will prob do some allergy testing and try to figure out what caused it....could be that something you ate is something you are allergic to now. I have had allergies all my life, but they have changed over the years. Right now, I am having the hand and foot itching too...just take extra allergy meds in addition to my pharm and after a while the histamine is out of my system.

Good luck...I know the struggle of it, can drive you nuts :)

Are you on hydrocodone or any type of codein? I noticed I got really itchy all over, but especially my hands, when I took my hydrocodone dose. I called my doctor and he said this is a normal reaction.

Itchy palms mean money is coming!

Then what is coming if it is "hairy palms"? ;)

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
