Hi,
As per your query you have itchy skin rashes on hands and legs which seems to be due to allergic reaction leading to dermatitis. I would suggest you to start taking anti allergy medication such as Allegra. You should apply a steroid ointment like cortisone over the rash area for relieving inflammation and itching. Application of calamine lotion will be effective to soothe the skin. Apply cold compresses over itchy rashes.
You should maintain proper cleanliness and avoid scratching the bumps to prevent infection. If symptoms still keeps on persisting you should visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for patch test and blood tests and start treatment after proper prescription.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
