Itchy hands and feet

[2holski 2]

I'm 9 days post op. Has anyone else had trouble at night with random itchy hands and feet? There's no hives and no redness and it only seems more active at night. It's usually around the perimeter but can be inside the fingers and toes too. Cortisone helps eventually but after several minutes.

I had this on my fingers. They were so itchy, I would scratch to death, and they would bleed sometimes. Finally I tried cortisone, and it only helped a little bit. It finally went away after about 2 months post op. I never asked the doc what it was.

I had this on my feet (omg, the itch). I can't remember when it went away, but it did. Though I wasn't sure if it was related to weight loss at the time.

My feet and upper torso itched like crazy. My surgeon said it could possibly be a reaction to anesthesia and if so, should go away as the anesthesia works it's way out of my body. After about two weeks it went away, so I just assumed that was it.
