White Rash On Hands, No Bumps, Not Red, Not Itchy

My 12 year old daughter has white rash to both palms of hands . never turns red. never itchy. no bumps or hard area. looks like someone who has been in a pool or bath to long. it has been several months. we have only had a few days where it was gone. not painful but she is self conscious about it. her pediatrician is stumped. we have no insurance so cannot afford to go to derm.

Hello
Welcome to HealthCareMagic
I would be pleased to answer your question

Your daughter seems to be having a condition called Keratolysis Exfoliativa . This is a condition where the skin peels off and sometimes associated with excess sweating from the palms and sometimes soles .
However it would be important to meet a Dermatologist . They will also have to rule out keratoderma , psoriasis or chronic hand eczema .

Thanks
