Extremely itchy hands at night

Resolved question:
Hello my wife has been experiencing EXTREMELY itchy hands at night. Usually starts at 11:00pm but on occasion can happen earlier. Starts with one hand and now spreads to the other. Recently has started to also affect her feet. I have been rubbing cortisone in and that takes a few minutes and then the itching will subside.

When her hands are itching it goes from a small itch to unbearable really fast. It doesn't happen every night.

She has never had anything like this before.

Is this psychological? What can be the cause of this and what are the best next steps?Please type your questions here. You can choose the specialty and upload reports in next step...
