Suggest Treatment For Severe Itchiness And Dryness On The Palm

The palms of my hands are peeling the skin off. When a piece of the skin comes off it bleeds. The palms itch horribly. They feel like sandpaper. The tops of my knuckles and insides of my fingers itch and have rough dry blister looking skin. Any ideas?

Dermatologist 's  Response
hello.
You're suffering from an androgynous Exuma called as pompholyx.
It is an allergic disorder in which small deep-seated blisters are found in the hand.
It can be controlled with the use of a mild steroid cream like clobetasol.
You can also take an antihistamine tablet if itching is more.
Try yo do housework with gloves on.
This should help you.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
