Itchy hands and feet?: itchy palms and bottoms of feet...

» sachmo - itchy palms and bottoms of feet...

I'm a 31yr old male living in the mid-west, suburbs.
Just two weeks ago I think I was bitten by a spider when I was sleeping. I have been bitten by many spiders before so I know spider bites. Since then, I have gotten the infamous itchy palms and feet. I have also had numerous rashes on my hands, arms, chest / neck. I have changed shampoo, soap, I'm not allergic to anything that I am aware of. Two dogs and a cat, and have lived in my current residence for 5 months. Food choices haven't changed, and my girlfriend says she still uses the same laundry detergent as she always has. The only thing I can think of is the spider bite.
My itchyness comes at night while I sleep. It wakes me up, and I scratch until it hurts. My fingers get swollen and sore in the mornings, then goes away during the days. Some nights are worse than others. Why only at night???
I am seeing my Dr. in the morning, but I have a feeling he will tell me the same as all of your doctors have told you.
