Brief Answer:
Irritant Contact Dermatitis.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
In case you just have itching then you can simply observe the following, but if you have any local lesions over there send us a photograph of your hand.
1. To clean your hands with soap water.
2. Anti allergic drug like Levocetrizine 5 mg can be taken.
3. Calamine lotion can be applied locally over there.
This would get relief with these remedies. But if you have any loc skin blister or lesion send us a photograph.
Stay Healthy.
Note: For further follow-up it is advisable to consult an emergency medicine specialist. Click here.
