Lately, the fronts of my hands have been very very itchy! What the heck?

Question

Occasionally, I'll have little bumps on my hands, and I thought they were hives, but I've been applying Benadryl Itch Cream for over a week, and it still hasn't gone away! I also find little bumps on the inner sides of my fingers, which are a little itchy as well. =[ What's wrong with me?!

Answer 1

Could be a start of a skin disease. Go to mayo clinic and type in skin rashes and see what they say. Then go from there. You may need a topical cream to get rid of it. In the meantime try not to scratch and get to a doctor to see if they can help.

Answer 2

have the doctor check your liver. chances are you have one risk factor for liver diseases such as hepb or hepc.....

when the liver is malfunctioning either due to fighting a chronic viral infection such as hep b or hep c, all sorts of issues arrise.

i fought a rash on my right hand only for 5 years, creams would work, however, once stopped, they would appear within a few days. they are little teeny blister like papules that cluster together, itch, burn and break open with pus, the skin dries and cracks...very unpleasant to say the least.

if a doctor tells you that your allergic to water, run the other direction...bodies are made up of 75% water.

have the doctor run a liver panel and the actual test of hepb or hep c....sometimes the alt and ast levels appear normal and you can still be infected!

good luck!

Answer 3

I have a very mild case of Dyshidrotic Eczema, which shows up as pimple like itchy bumps on my fingers. I find that they don't ever go away, but they will calm down over time.
They tend to flare up when I eat too much salt and/or when I'm under a lot of stress.

Answer 4

it does sound like hives. you should go to the doctor or ER. last summer, my arms were really itchy and when i woke up the next morning, almost my whole body was itchy. i had to go to ER and i found out i had an allergy to latex paint/gloves. i think i had to take Prednisone and benadryll pills. they worked like magic. you should try something like that. good luck.

Answer 5

better see a skin specialists. thats the same with my sister she didn't mind it at first it gets worst and up to her feet she has this itchy thing. we went to see a skin specialist and the doctor said she has eczema. she was given an ointment for her to apply and it works. you better go now before it gets worst.
