What Causes White Patches On Hands?
My hands started feeling like I d gotten into fiberglass with prickly/stinging sensation. When I looked at them I had developed white patches mostly on the balls of my hands. I ran them under cold water and they feel better but can t imagine what I m reacting to. I d been outside all day, took a hot shower, and put lotion (Gold Bond) on my hands. ???

Hello,
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected area twice daily and take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine once daily at bedtime for a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
