8 years ago and you haven't seen a doctor about it yet?! Could be a skin condition, could be just really dry skin. I'm sure there's some sort of lotion or cream that could be prescribed, see a dermatologist!

Sounds like psoriasis. My grandmother had it and she said it was very itchy and it would cause raised caloused patches on the skin. I would go to a dermatologist- they can prescribe medicine for it. If you can't go to a Dr then look for something over the counter- I have noticed some new creams on the market for psoriasis. Good luck.

You possibly have a fungal infection on your feet. I have no idea why when a fungal infection on feet is left untreated it makes the hands itchy but my hands were sure itchy. If this is a possibility you need to see a doctor and think about antibiotics, antifungal creams and powders an help for mild infections and can be used in conjuction with antibiotics.

excema!!! i have it too...sometimes it goes away and then it comes back again. it goes through cycles. go to the dermatologist and get some cream. Elidel works great, but insurance doesnt cover it. its about 75 dollars per tube. dont use anything with scent in it. it irriatates the skin even more.
