Dermatologist 's  Response
To treat the reaction you need to apply clobetasol propionate cream over the affected areas along with a good quality moistuising cream over your entire hands liberally . You can also take tablet levocetrizine 5 mg once daily. Avoid frequent washing of hands. Dont use harsh chemicals or soaps over your hands. Keep your hands as moisturized as possible.
