Brief Answer:
apply moderate to strong potency topical steroids
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome again.
Pompholyx presents like this only. It is a self limiting condition. In case it doesnt resolve by itself, moderate to strong potency topical steroids like mometasone/ clobetasol are usually advised to be applied over the lesions.
The condition usually responds within 2-3 weeks of treatment.
Additionally put lots of moisturisers over the hands so as to prevent the recurrence to some extent.
As per details, it is my best advice for you.
If you have any further query you may ask me.
Stay healthy.
