I have pompholyx on both my palms. i was advised to avoid soaps and use shampoo instead when washing hands. just wondering why it might be beneficial.

Not beneficial: Antihistamine also not beneficial. See a dermatologist (or a different derm). You will have better luck with a potent topical steroid. This is safe ; usually helps, but no cure. You are not likely to discover a cause or a cure, but it is likely to sibside in time.
