A member asked:

Why is top of my hands burning&rash? allergy reactions from doing laundry, wash dishes, or just dry? i've tried using lotion but it made worse.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Option: Best to see a doctor. But for over the counter option try benedryl cream or the lowest cortisone ointment for itchiness. Please read side effects and consult pharmacist before purchasing. If still itchy, must go see doctor.
