Hi everyone, I’m having a bit of trouble finding much info on this—either I’m just looking in the wrong places or there isn't much out there. I was wondering if anyone here has dealt with this specific illness before? If you have, what were your next steps, how did things ultimately turn out, and all that? From what I’ve gathered so far, one of the symptoms is skin itching. Now, I know—this might sound like a total long shot—but I’ve noticed this itching specifically on my lower legs and arms, which is exactly where I'm feeling it. It’s totally possible it’s just dry skin or something minor... but still, I’m curious about the best way to get a real diagnosis. Should I be heading to a dermatologist or just start with a general practitioner? Basically, if anyone has any firsthand experience with this, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Best wishes to you all!

Unfortunately, I’ve actually seen a case where things started out with nothing more than some minor swelling in the lower legs.
I really hope, and I truly mean this, that what you're dealing with is just some mundane dermatological issue and nothing more serious.
Anyway, I managed to find these links for you:
