Itchy hand rash

Posted , 2 users are following.

I was diagnosed with psoriasis many years ago that only affects my palms and only one at a time. Usually it clears with 4-5 days steroid cream under duoderm. This hasn't helped recently. I have a circumferential flaky itch area approx 3cm diameter. Also tried 6 week of terbinafibe which seemed to help but then stagnated and exacerbated again. It's driving me mad. Any solutions greatly appreciated.??

    I have been diagnosed with palmoplantar pustular psoriasis. It effects the palms of the hands and the soles of my feet.. while waiting for insurance to approve humira I went to the dollar store and found this cream it is Nivea creme and it is in a little round flat blue container it was $1.00 for the creme and I use it every night and morning on my hands and feet and I have noticed a significant improvement. I'm sure other places carry it. Good luck with your rash. I know how painful and inconvenient it is to have a rash on your hands.

      Thankyou for your reply. Nivea is commonly available but i  havent tried it but i will now.  I might also try topping up with vitamin d as i read this helps in some people and it is now recognised the folks in the uk are often deficient or insufficeint in vitamin d .  Coincidently i recall my skin clearing up on my last trip to spain so its worth a try. I might seek further dermatological review as its been over 20 years since the last review. there might be something new out there to try. x
