What Is Causing Rashes On My Hands And Face?
Hi Dr. Samuel, My name is Jamkt and I have this rash, it started on my hands, it s not itchy like scabies, but it seems like I detect tiny little eggs coming out of my skin, it s on my hands and now it on my face. I tried anti biotic ointment and wash it with salt. But it seems it s getting worse and worse. Please can you help.

Hi,
As per your query you have rashes on my hands and face which seem to be that fact that you are being exposed and re-exposed to the allergen and this is the reason that they are persisting.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take proper course of antihistamine drug along with short course of oral corticosteroids after proper prescription. Wash face with facewash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid. Exfoliate your skin once in a week to remove the dead skin. If condition doesn't get better in a month then consult dermatologist again for proper diagnosis and to rule out any underlying condition. The doctor may prescribe isotretinoin, steroid ointment or antibiotics course.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
