I : I would wonder whether this is related to that. Perhaps it is eczema or psoriasis or dermatitis or another common dermatologic condition. Read more about eczema and psoriasis at the link below. I hope that helps.

Shingles: With a bilateral distribution just on hands, would doubt this is due to Shingles (varicella-zoster virus). Your doctor may be able to examine and accurately diagnose. Take care.
