Recently if im cooking and I touch raw chicken my hands itch so bad I have to stop and wash them a few times. I have also had a itch all over my body and have to take Benadryl. I have been not eating chicken on some days and I dont have this issue. Could this be an allergy, if so could it progress and become worse?
Dear patient you could be having an allergic reaction. Usually it is contact dermatitis which is presenting as itching over your hands, but it can become generalized as the itching spreads to other parts of your body. Sometimes reaction can be even more serious even life-threatening, the best line of action would be to avoid all types of contact with chicken. I hope my answer has helped you. Regards
