What Causes Diarrhea Accompanied With Itchy Palms And Feet?
I am 43 years of age. 5ft 4 inches tall, i weigh 12 stone 6 pounds. I am an asthmatic who suffers from bouts of depression.
I recently suffered from diarrhea but this was companied with itchy palms and soles of feet, my face had patches of red and chest pains. These symptoms have occurred 4 times before with a period of up to 2 to 6 months inbetween. Is there anything to be concerned about or have i just been unfortunate in getting the same infection.

Hello,
This condition is due to most possible viral infection in form of allergy with skin manifestations and GI effect. It is not your misfortune to get this, innumerable patients we come across day in and out with this condition.
Primary guidelines at present are:
- Tub bath with lukewarm water added Epsom salt and lavender oil.
- Local application of dusting powder Clotrimazole (1 %) 3 times a day.
- Use tablet Benadryl for more itching control.
- Diarrhea management with diet control, fresh yogurt, pro biotics with lacto bacillus.
- Evaluation with allergy specialist regarding the type of allergy and prevent future issues of the same type.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
