Hi,

You seem to have probably either palmoplantar pustulosis or contact allergic dermatitis. You consult dermatologist for firm diagnosis.

If you have itching,you may take antihistaminics like levocetirizine. Steroids in tappering dose might be helpful. Application of combined cream of antibiotics and steroid would be advantageous. Avoid contact with detergents and soap. Keep the area moist by using moisturiser cream. Have patience for the good result.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
