What Causes Red Rash On Palms After Every Shower?
My daughter gets a red bumpy bubbly rash on the palms of her hands after every bath/shower. It itches really badly and burns. I ve tried switching soap and shampoos, nothing seems to work. What s causing this and how do I fix it? She does have eczema on her scalp but I m not sure if that s related.

welcome,
it is due to sensitive / allergic skin,
rash / itches after shower/bath is due to very hot or cold water ,
this resolves it self with in 1 to 2 hour ,
medicine is not required,
if it does not resolve can take anti allergic medicine & can apply calamine topically,
about 50 % females have sensitive skin,
use Luke warm or normal water (not hot nor cold ).
do not rub the body with towel,
consult your family doctor,
take care,
