Suggest Treatment For Eczema On Hands And Feet
I have developed eczema in both hands and both feets almost a year back when I came to US. I m applying clobetasol as per doctors prescription but its not relieving me. Doctors have prescribed steroid pills for 2 weeks but due to health concerns, I m not taking these pills. The eczema in both hands and feets seems to be severe. Can you please suggest me anything that can help me get rid of the situation? Thank you!!

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of eczema on hands and feet, well there can be many reasons for eczema like cosmetics products , pets , pollens , certain viruses and bacteria , weather , food like nuts and seafood . In your case the probable reasons is seasonal allergy and due to hormonal changes. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep yourself away from open environment. If condition doesn't get improve or get worse then consult allergy specialist for proper examination . Doctor will take history and try to find out the trigger factor. Doctor may order allergy test . Doctor may give adrenaline short or may hospitalize. You should use air condition and continue taking anti histamine like benadryl and apply cold compresses to affected area and apply moisturizer .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
