Brief Answer:
Most likely due to allergy from something you exposed.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query and picture. It can be due to allergic reaction from some thing you exposed. It can be some chemicals or soap or some plants or anything. Using hydrocortisone cream for local application will be helpful. You can also take anti histamines like cetirizine (zyrtec) once daily. These are available over the counter.
Let me know if anything not clear.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.

sure doctor I will take tablet for 2-3 days and reply if it continues.
I am having this issue from 15days, I got scared because my father also had itching over palm and foot from almost 10 years consulted many doctors too but not cured till now. (he will get itching when is had food like chapati, egg, chicken, milk, curd and few particular vegetables) sometimes it will bleed in foot n palm too. That's the reason I got scared very much.

Avoid the causative agents of allergy if you know it. It can be some food or some thing your hand exposes. You can use the medications I told you. If it recur then allergic skin test can be done to find out the causing agent.
