Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy rashes on hands and back . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like contact dermatitis , allergic reaction due to detergent, soap , fragrance , chemical, metal such as in jewelry, poison oak or ivy, an animal bite, and an insect sting. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may prescribe antihistamine , corticosteroid ointment and immunosuppressants , anti inflammatory. Avoid touching or pricking rashes. For now take benadryl twice a day , apply cold compresses , avoid direct sun exposure and avoid any cosmetic product .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
