Recently my hands have started peeling. I purchased a Psoriasis gel today && I just started using it. How long is the healing process && does anyone know any other remedies so my hands wont hurt? I have been picking at them.
Hi
It seems that it might be the beginning of some dermatitic or eczematous rash.
A reddish smooth rash is described as a macular rash. It can be caused directly or indirectly by stress, allergic reactions (hives) heat or sun exposure, bacterial, viral or fungal infections, underlying medical illness or medications.
Scaling, blister formation, itching or ulceration may or may not accompany the rash.
There are several distinct types of dermatitis such as allergic contact dermatitis, irritant dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, etc. Similar skin conditions include pityriasis rosea, tinea corporis, psoriasis, nummular eczema, atopic dermatitis, drug reaction, erythema migrans, erythema annulare centrifugum (EAC) and other rashes.
Skin rashes are diagnosed clinically based on the history and appearance of the rash. You should consult a dermatologist so that he finds the exact cause and gives you medications to treat the underlying cause or antihistaminic for relief from symptoms. In the meanwhile, you should avoid irritants like perfumes and detergents and keep your skin moisturized.
Do write in if you need some more information.
