An allergic reaction to antibiotics would usually be over most of your body. The fact that it is just your hands means it's probably a contact dermatitis.
You could use Domboro solution to help with the itching and use hand moisturizers.
Be sure to wear plastic/rubber gloves when washing dishes, etc

I had the same problems. I ended up scratching the skin between my thumbs and wrist until they bled.
I couldn't stand it anymore and went to the doctor. He prescribed "locoid lipocream" in just a couple of days the itching stopped and within less than a week the scabs have almost gone.

Yes, but not directly. Antibiotics can sometimes allow a fungus - yeast - to overgrow. Dry peeling skin can result.
Check out www.hufa.org, the yeast link, for some basic information.

Sounds like psoriasis. Stop itching them and peeling the skin, as it won't heal. It's chronic, but sunshine and sun lamps do wonders for hands and feet. The more you scratch, the bigger the permanent spots will get.

lt is best to see your doctor, as it could be a reaction to the tablets or it could be any number of reasons. E45 should help for the time being, but seek professional advice!

Don't know if your recent treatment could have caused it, but can recommend you try Aqueous. Its an emmolient cream it's not expensive and you should be able to get it from your local chemist.

it could be a number of things. try looking at the soap you use, or you could have sirouses. (Not of the liver,) It is like excema, but not as bad. It is stress related. Go in the sun, and use lots of aloe cream

I would try Vaseline. My mother's hand used to crack and peel and then she started putting Vaseline on them daily and it helped. If the problem continues, I would go to the doctor.
