A member asked:
What does it mean when the palms of my hands itch?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Irritation: My grandmother used to say it was a sign you were going to come into some money. However superstition aside, it could be from a number of things. Environmental factors such as irritation from soap. Nerve issues, such as nerve entrapments. Or simply, dry skin. Usually an itchy palm is a momentary feeling. If it lasts for a long time, consider seeing a hand surgeon for a consultation.

The meaning!: That you may have a contact allergy to something. Common causes are latex, household detergents.
