When I was about 21 and going through a stressful time (my partner left me with a 7 week old baby and i was half way through a teaching degree) I developed really itchy fingers and ankles/heels. I wrongly thought I had a verrucae! When over the counter remedies made this worse I went to my GP who asked if I had suffered with eczema as a child I hadn't so he concluded it was brought on by stress. I still get itchy fingers whenever I'm stressed at work. I just immeadiately slap on some cream.

Itchy skin has been the Nemesis of my existence for about 10 years. I've been to a dozen doctors and dermatologists and found out that I might as well have consulted one of Houdini's fakers. I've tried a ton of creams, solutions but the best diagnosis was from a dermatologist on Maui-"Well, you've got 'itchy arm syndrome'.". HOW MANY YEARS DID YOU GET SCHOOLED? Anyway, yes, I do believe stress can be a contributing factor for your dillema but I'd go to a dermatologist just to check-at least you'll get a good chuckle out of it.

Ok, i will take a wild guess. Maybe it is all in your head? Ill explain. Ok lets say you smoked. It would get worse and worse as you go along, feeling more reliant on the ciggarettes. It would be the only thing on your mind, and its all in your head that you can't stop. Now changes the smoking and ciggarettes to scratching. Hope i helped, and maybe, if you think that may be an option, go and see a phyciatrist. It could also be to do with stress because you are trying to take your mind off of something. Byeeex

This happens to me when I get all stressed out. I just started noticing it a few months ago. Just try to relax. It can't hurt to ask your doctor about it.

~Yes, stress can cause all sorts of physical and emotional problems. Don't be surprised if you get a rash too. Try to relax.~

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/uYf1E

It is possible. Strange, but possible.
Anyway, don't worry, especially if he is getting treated. From what I came up with doing a rough translation, that's a form of acid reflux disease.
