A member asked:

I have a rash on the palms of my hands for about 9 months now. it feels like something eating my skin and leaves them cracked sore and dry.?

Dermatologist helps: Dry, cracked skin on the palms can be eczema or an allergy to something (gloves, tools, creams, etc.), plus maybe yeast or fungus growth in addition to eczema. The over-the-counter Hydrocortisone is usually not strong enough for palm eczema, since the palm is thicker skin. A patient can see a primary care doctor for treatment, though the doctor may the patient refer to a dermatologist.

Get Checked: This rash would likely need to be examined and more history obtained to be able to provide you with useful input about the diagnosis or possible treatment.
