Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchiness On The Hand
hi I has itching on my skin on the right hand. I applied garlic paste and it got healed. 2 days later, itching started again and it became worse and so I applied garlic paste again. That portion where I applied garlic paste has become blood red and look wierd. Will this lead to any worse effects ?

Hello, you appear to have contact dermatitis, garlic is an irritant in itself.
I would adv you to wear gloves before dealing with chemicals, detergents, cutting vegetables,fruits etc., wash ur hands with a bland soap like pears post-work, mop dry and apply an emollient like parasoft/moisturex soft cream .
Also take tab Levosiz 5mg at bedtime for 3 days
Don't apply any further garlic
Thanks
Take care
