itchy rashes on palm

[Arnabbose]

Hi, this is Arnab of 28 years. Since last 2 days I am having rashes on my palm and those are itchy as well. Thinking of the fact it is allergic, I took cetrizine. But no repite. please help me out. and what kind of medicine will help me?

Thanks a lot.
I have seen a doctor and he prescribed some antifungal medicine.
I have to consume that once a week for 2 months.

Hello!
I cannot confirm anything without an external examination but it can possibly be eczema. Maintain local hygiene. You may try using calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. For mild to moderate cases a weak steroid may be helpful. Only in severe cases a higher potency steroid may be needed. Keep your skin well hydrated by applying moisturizers as dry skin may exacerbate eczema. Please get a clinical examination done by a dermatologist. I do hope it helps and do keep me posted for more queries.
Best wishes!
