There : There are several possibilities including psoriasis, eczema, lichen planus, and skin allergy.  I would recommend that you only use a gentle cleanser when cleaning your hands (like cerave or cetaphil), and use a moisturizer cream such as aquaphor, cetaphil, eucerin, or cetaphil cream twice daily.  If not better after a week or so, consider a trip to a dermatologist who can make an accurate diagnosis and formulate a good treatment plan for you.  You might need a steroid cream/ointment to clear this up. I hope that helps!

Question 10

hi, i have had the swelling on the back of hand not palm for 3 days now, and it itches occasionally ?

Accepted Answer

Hand swelling: Hand swelling not due to injury or an insect bite and  with associated itching suggests angioedema which is an allergic reaction. However this type of swelling generally subsides after 24 hours or so. For this reason I  feel an insect bite is more likely in your case. If the hand swelling persists, becomes painful or develops redness, have a physician examine you for diagnosis and treatment.
