Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of red itchy bumps on the back of my hand. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like xerotic eczema , atopic dermatitis , contact dermatitis , infection , medications side effects or diabetes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep your hands clean and dry , do not apply any cosmetic product. You should apply only petroleum jelly on hands. You should take antihistamine like benadryl twice a day and stay away from dry environment. If condition doesn't get well then consult dermatologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants , corticosteroid ointments along with antibacterial or antiviral medicine depending upon the diagnosis. Doctor may order blood test , skin patch test and allergy test.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
