How come my hands and feet itch when I go into cold water?!


Question: How come my hands and feet itch when I go into cold water!?
Sometimes when I'm at the beach and I go into the cold sea, the first 5 minutes I'm in there the palms of my hands and the bottom of my feet itch like crazy!. It's a sort of itch that's almost pain, so I'm not tempted to scratch it or anything!. I also have this when our electricity is cut off and I don't have hot water so I have to shower in (really, really) cold water!. Not nice when you just got out of a nice warm bed at 7 am lol!. It's not something that bothers me, it's just that I'm the only one I know of that has this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
