Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have always been very healthy and active and rarely would need to go to the doctor. However, this year (64) my body is going through so many crazy things. My palms of my hands itch all the time, they are now very dry and rough and stay swollen with mild to intense pain. Let s just start with that.
