I have a very itchy skin rash for weeks. Can I have cancer with no other symptoms?

I don't mean to scare you, but I was just diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease and my itching was my first sympton and it started on my feet and spread. I later developed a cough and shortness of breath. I would have everything checked out, you can not be too safe. :) Good luck, hopefully you are just allergic to something.

My rash and itchiness started on my feet and then went to my legs and then to the rest of my body. The foot rash disappeared during the summer. The rash may or may not be related to my diagnosis. You are probably fine, but you are best to be safe. They can see alot with either a chest x-ray or even a cat scan. These are both painless and very very easy.
