Dear patient thank k you for that question.
Itchy rashes in your hands and stomach are most commonly due to allergy to medication.

If there isnt any other medication you are taking it might be allergy to soframycin as itching and rashes are a well known side effect.

apply fusilin instead. If there is still a lot of irritation apply fucicort for not more than 2 weeks

Hope this helped
