Often,palms/hands & soles/feet itch after shower(sometimes maddeningly)no new soaps, meds,etc.skin isnt dry.hydroxyzine doesn't help.what causes this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dyshydrosis: Evaporation of water from skin of palms and feet results in comparative dryness compared to environment. This causes loss of energy from the surface and irritation of nerves. Application of Vaseline ointment generously before and after bath may provide relief.
