Palm of my Hand is Dry, Cracks, & Itchy
by sadeqq, Jun 25, 2009 05:50PM
I am a healthy 28 yr old male. No medical history I am perfectly healthy aside from my right hand.
I have had a persistent dry right palm for over 3 years now, and it has recently gotten painful and extra dry. I wulod describe it as dry, rough, thickened, cracked skin on my palm. I do not have health insurance so that is why I have not been able to go get it looked at yet.
Looking closely it is dry, has cracks, itches. It makes it hard to do any type of physical work because if any dirt or debris gets in the cracks it irritates even more and hurts a bit more too.
I think it is eczema or something but I am not sure. Any suggestions on a diagnosis for this? It is on my right hand palm and on my right hand fingers in smaller areas. I can take pictures if someone can help me with this. I work from my computer so it is
