What Causes Redness And Itching On Palms Of A Child?
My daughter who is 4 years old has had red itchy hands (only on her palms) for the past two weeks. I took her to the pediatrician and a dermatologist and they both diagnosed her with Contact dermatitis. Both doctors recommend to use triamincolone .1% cream for two weeks twice a day. I applied the cream as requested and still there is no improvement. Her diet, exercise and lifestyle have remain the same. She has not traveled out of the country and is in good health. I m worried that I can not figure out what is wrong with her itchy hands. It bothers her all the time. Please help.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such allergic condition may be self limiting and better to wait for some time and this would be fine soon no need to treat this condition, at the most oral "Diphenhydramine" can be given, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
