Old fashioned cure works for me...at night rub a generous amount of vaseline..(petrolem jelly) on/into hands..you will have to sleep w wool mittens or socks on hands..not plastic gloves,,it works!! you have to use a good size amount..your skin will absorb it..repeat as many times as needed.
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like pompholyx. The other name is dyshidrotic eczema. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
For mild-moderate eczema a weak steroid may be used (e.g. hydrocortisone as dermacort), whilst more severe cases require a higher-potency steroid (e.g. clobetasol propionate, fluocinonide).But they are available under prescription and should be taken only after consulting a dermatologist. Eczema can be exacerbated by dryness of the skin. Use good quality moisturizers to prevent moisture loss from the skin. If still the symptoms do not improve then please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
I know this is a while ago--but I have the same problem the original poster describes, and I looked up pompholyx and the symptoms do not match. There are no blisters, there is no itching. Just wrinkles, tenderness, and peeling. (Also for me some peeling on my palms.)
