Is Itching On The Palms And Fingers For Over 10 Days A Cause For Concern?
Question: Respected Sir/Madam, My wife of age 36 is suffering with itching on her palm and fingures for last 10 days. We are using bore water and Dove soap for bathing. Could you please suggest remedy for her problem and let us know the reason for the problem. Attached photos..
Brief Answer:
follow the advice...
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Well, no photos/attachments found here, kindly retry. However, in such scenario, I'd suggest her take Tab CETIRIZINE 10mg once daily at bedtime for a week to help to reduce the itching.
Additionally, she may also apply Aloe-vera/ Lactocalamine lotion over the affected area twice daily and observe how she stays.
If despite this there's no improvement/any further worsening of the scenario, then I'd strongly recommend her to get checked up by a Dermatologist in person for a proper examination of the area. Management can be done based on the findings thereafter.
Take Care
Kind Regards

Brief Answer:
follow as already advised...observe how she stays after this...
Detailed Answer:
Welcome back,
I've reviewed the attached photos,
It could be due to the hardness of the water or even fungal infection...Try to keep the hand dry as much as possible...Avoid any direct skin contact with dish-water/any kind of hard soapy products for the time being...it'll be better if she can use some soothing Shower-gel instead of Dove soap...
Take the tablet Cetrizine and Apply the lotion as already advised for next 4-5 days and observe how it stays after that...
