Found methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazoline was causing me trouble for years.... It's in most US shampoos and conditioners you have to look around to find one without it. I have been fine for 6 months now but don't wash my hands in public cause it can be in hand soaps as well.
Its a preservative banned in some countries. (See below)
One or two preservatives are required for the water soluble component of the shampoo and others for the oil soluble component. These agents are toxic - biocidic (literally: anti-nature) - which is why they are useful as preservatives. The toxic paraben family of chemicals are often used along with methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazoline (MIT) which has been shown to cause neurological damage in rats and is a potent irritant and allergen. There is particular concern that the use of these toxic chemicals by pregnant women may adversely affect foetal brain development and may also be a factor in the the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Domeboro soaks (bought over the counter at any drug store), shot of Kenalog, and a temporary prescription of Ativan till it is gone. And white cotton gloves if it is really bad. Works for me everytime and I suffered with this for years before going to a Dermatologist and he prescribed this remedy which cleared it up immediately. I occasionally have a breakout but usally get it under control by soaking in the Domeboro.
Hi Everyone.
Just recently over the last several days I've been experiencing itchy hands and palms with little bumps showing and also in between the fingers. The urge to scratch was so intense. I used an ointment that the doctor had prescribed with no effect at all which did nothing more than aggravate the infected areas which are now appearing like little blisters and forming in clusters along both my forearms. Accidentally this morning I scolded my hand in hot water and the sensation it caused was an incredible itchy urge to scratch my skin off. Never experienced that before and kept soaking my hands in hot water to try and scold the blisters off. A cold pack is the only thing that is giving me temporary relief and still not sure if its an allergy. My doctor put it down to being female with a hormonal imbalance and suggested I try a skin moisturizer if prescribed medication didn't work. I don't have itchy feet just hands and now forearms but am frustrated that there is no real explanation to what it is and how to treat it. Its encouraging to read everyone's comments and remedies and makes all the difference to persevere in finding a remedy that works for me. Thanks to all.
I have tried everything everybody was saying. Nothing helped. The only thing that helped, and it really does help, is APPLE cider vinegar. Take a cotton ball and soak it in the vinegar, put it on your finger or hand or toes, for at least 3 minutes. It burns like hell, and itches like crazy, but if you can endure this, you will be relieved of your long term problem. After this let it dry. Then put on a normal healing cream, or any ointment for dry skin. After this it will be much better. It wont itches during the night or the next day. You might have to do it about 3 times. Then it will be gone. I,m soooo happy mine is gone. It is a terrible thing to have.
