Itching on palms and body

Hi, I am currently about 2–3 months pregnant. Since today morning, I have been experiencing itching on my palms, feet, stomach, and other parts of my body. When I scratch, raised marks appear on my skin (like lines or bumps). I also noticed that the itching reduces when I wash with cold water. However, the itching is present even in the morning. I am concerned whether this could be a normal skin reaction  or something related to pregnancy? Could you please advise if I need any tests ? Also, what treatment or precautions should I take? Thank you.
