What Do Itchy Red Rashes On The Hands Indicate?

I have beet red rash on top of both hands and some fingers that burn and itch. Also my face is inflamed with a sand paper feel. with minimal peeling as hands too. My scalp burns and itches occassionally. My throat is sore and tolerates cold drinks, such as, water, green tea with ginseng and honey and smoothies. This is not getting better but worse, What would your thoughts be!

Hi,

It looks like an allergic reaction leading to the following symptoms. It can be due to a number of causes like any food or medication or even environmental allergens can be a cause.

Certain toxin exposures can also cause such symptoms. So a clinical examination and an allergy test can be done for confirmation and treatment can be done accordingly.

For now, take anti-allergic medicine like Fexofenadine or Levocetirizine and also apply Benadryl ointment or a steroid based ointment like Betamethasone. Do cool compresses. Do warm saline gargles and drink warm water.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora,
