itchy rash only on tops of hand and feet

itchy rash only on tops of hand and feet

I have this itchy rash only on tops of hand and feet. It comes and goes mostly in the summer months. If I itch it becomes much worse. Horticone creams & presciption steroid creams don't help. Please help.

Hi,

This could be allergic reactions to unknown substances, skin hypersensitivity, eczema, dermatitis or sun rash.

Do you notice the lesions trigerred in response to a specific stimulus like sun exposure? Are you exposed to any chemicals at work? What work do you do?

You should try to keep the area dry and clean. Try some powder to absorb the sweat.

Apply calamine lotion at the site and take some oral antihistamine medications for your complaints.

If the symptoms are still persistent, consult your dermatologist and get a proper clinical evaluation done.

Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing.

Good luck.

I work on a computor with no cemicals. Sun exposure & hot shower makes it worse. I do have a pool, could it be chorine? If so why wouldn't it be all over. I have tried calamine with no luck. I just started taking liquid Zeolite, so I tried  putting that on it. It seems to be helping but only the 2nd day. Will let you know. If it continues,  I will go to a dermatoligist. It just started last year. But like I said just summer months but not all the time.
Thanks
