Hi,

Prickly sensation of both hands can occur due to dryness, allergy or inflammation of skin. Any history of rashes should be ruled out. Diabetes can also cause generalised pricking, itching or burning sensation. Kindly check your blood sugar levels both fasting and postprandial levels. I would suggest you take antihistamines for 3 to 5 days. Apply generous amount of moisturiser to reduce any discomfort. Mild steroids like hydrocortisone can also be used.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saranya Ramadoss, General & Family Physician
