Yes, forgot to add, that's the only time I itch, showers, warm weather or if I start doing anything and get a little warm, is this something we have to get on with or is there anything you do that eases it

I only itch in the shower if it gets too warm, or during hot flashes.

Yes it’s worse after shower or warm bath, lasts about 15 minutes

I have this all over and last couple of weeks have been the worst, don't seem to get any help from oncology, until they can find the cause they can't give me any medication unless it gets seriously high. Are there any people on here with same situation or was this something anyone has been through and eventually it showed whats causing the high platelets.
Thank you to everyone on here for their help and advice.

Yes, particularly when it is hot. Ankles are the worst
