I am a 23 year old female and I do have a small history of eczema. I used to have it pretty bad about 10 years ago on the insides of my arms only. Since then I would have the RARE breakout, usually around my mouth or on my back. Not even once a year.
For the last three days I have had a horrible cold, and my hands are VERY ITCHY. Im not sure that either have anything to do with each other, but I thought I should put it out there.
I havent taken anything for the cold, ate anything different or been around anything I would be allergic to. I have been waking up in the middle of the night with the itchy hands, as well has having them itch all day and when I stop itching they burn like crazy. It is continuous all day long. I have tried applying hydrocordizone and my elidel but nothing helps. I have a few welts but I feel like it's from itching all day.
This is all over both hands, and just my hands. I plan on making an appointment for the doctor, but I was just checking if anyone has had this happen to them or even find some relief!
Thank you for the advice and ideas!

try to see if you eat peppers onions or garlic make me itch like crazy at night not sure which one cuz i just pop a benodryel
I think I have the same thing and I'm experiencing it right now. The palms om my hands itch like crazy. When I itch them, by rubbing them together, they itch even more. When I stop there is this burning sensation. The skin also feel very stiff. I have had this conditin for some time now. So long I can't remember. After awhile I get small white bumps all over. After a while they pop or break or whatever and the its over. I have my own business and have a very busy/ stressfull period in the spring. This condition always occurs during this period and interisterringly enough, towards the of this busy period. I I've always considered this some sort of reaction to the stress because it always goes away.
