Hi,
It seems that you may be having either irritant or allergic contact dermatitis of the hand. There may be some cause like detergent, soap,dust,cosmetics,or some other. You try to find out the cause and avoid contact. Consult dermatologist. Steroids in tappering dose, antibiotics,antihistaminics orally and topical steroid,tacrolimus or pimecrolimus with antibiotic cream may be prescribed by your dermatologist. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
