Answer
Oddly enough, dehydration can cause itching- especially on the arms and legs. Try making sure you're drinking enough water. Hopefully the blood test will come back negative and if it does, try increasing your water intake.

Please let me know if I can help you further or with anything else.

Best wishes,
Helen =)
