What Causes Rashes On The Hands And Feet?
Hello. I am a 72 year old male that has been breaking out in a rash for no known reason. Mostly on feet, knees, hands and elbows,. It itches terribly and keeps me from sleeping at night. I saw a derm dr today AND HE prescribed a cream, cannot recall THE name. Pharmacist said it was 405.99 so I didn t get it. What can I do?

Hi,
Skin lesions can be diagnosed after clinical assessment only.
However, the eruption of itchy rash on feet, hands, knees, and elbows can be due to multiple dermatoses.
I suggest you use the ointment that has been prescribed by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
