If a spot, even a small one, suddenly appears on your skin, this should be a signal for action. To get started, try to find out the cause of its appearance yourself. Are the spots on the hands itchy? Perhaps this is caused by an allergy to a product, drug or cosmetic. In this case, it is enough to stop contact with the allergen, after which the itching will disappear.
Possible reasons
If we talk more about food allergies, it should be noted that most often the body reacts negatively to all citrus fruits, chocolate, caffeine, honey, nuts. If your hands itch, think about whether you are abusing floury, as well as overly fatty and spicy dishes. Perhaps you are a fan of a variety of seasonings? All this can cause a reaction. Try to adjust your diet and observe the results.
Nervous strain
Another likely cause may be severe stress or nervous strain. When you start to worry, your hands itch , but at the same time the skin is absolutely clean, and everything passes, you should calm down. Be sure to see a neurologist. If for some reason you do not want or cannot visit a doctor, use folk remedies: drink a tincture of valerian root.
Ringworm
How to understand that itchy hands due to ringworm? How to diagnose a disease? Look at the skin: if your guess is correct, it will be covered with spots that itch and peel a lot. By the way, this disease is quite dangerous. In the vast majority of cases, the patient begins to use all kinds of medicinal creams and ointments, make lotions, try to find "magic" recipes and thereby delay the treatment, which is unacceptable with lichen.
What measures should be taken?
So what to do when your hands itch? The best option is to contact a specialist. Do not be lazy to visit a dermatologist and describe in detail all the symptoms to him. If you are lucky and the spots covering the skin do not have a lichen nature, most likely your body is so “nervously” reacting to food or cosmetics. In any case, the doctor will prescribe the right course of treatment for you. In parallel with this, it makes sense to use special ointments, which include vitamins of groups A, E and D. Do not forget also that with psoriasis hands often also itch. Use preparations based on herbal ingredients - this will help relieve discomfort. If the itching is so strong that you can not stand it before visiting a doctor, lubricate the affected skin with an antihistamine ointment (by the way, this will also save you from peeling).
