What Could Itching In Left Hand From Thumb To Nail And Right Side Of Each Joint?

I have an itch in my left hand that runs from the base of my thumb to the nail, following the the right side of each joint. The itch cannot be eased by scratching. It s been 24 hours now. I do not see dermatitis of any kind nor have I been exposed to any irritants. Any ideas?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection.
I recommend using an anti fungal cream for local application such as Clotrimazole cream.
I also suggest using an antihistamine such as Cetirizine 10 mg to prevent the itching.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
