What do you suggest if my hands are dry, itchy, and red in some areas what is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Atopic dermatitis: Atopic dermatitis is a skin condition characterized by dry, wrinkled, itchy and occassionally red skin. Symptoms can be reduced by using hypoallergenic cleansers and moisturizers such as Cetaphil, and fragrance/dye free detergents. Topical steroids like 1% hydrocortisone cream are also helpful. Occassionally infections with yeast can appear with similar symptoms, and require an Rx.
