Skin rash on my hands?

I have a skin rash on my hands below my thumb. It started out as some bumpy dry skin, now its on both hands in the same area , and the one hand spread down to my wrist. Its itch, and hurts bad when lotion is applied or hot water touches it. It started a few weeks ago, im in ohio so the weather has changed to freezing, im not sure what it could be. My mom said she gets taht sometimes from weather. I also started ****** control nov.1st, is that a side effect? i hope not becuase its really working with my pains i had and regulatiing everything, i just hope this is normal in winter. Im going to go buy lotion and maybe put some calmine lotion on it, and hopefully that takes it away. i dont have health insurance so im kind of stuck. Thanks

HI WhatUp





Here are a few ideas to heal the issue.





Cause


Although most rashes are not symptoms of a serious health problem, they can be signs of allergies, liver and gallbladder problems, lupus, bleeding disorders, nutritional deficiencies, and autoimmune diseases.





Rashes can also be due to the elimination of toxic wastes through the skin, or of an active immune reaction to an invading organism. Suppression of such a rash can lead to chronic disease states. Rather than try to suppress the rash, in such cases watchful waiting may be more advisable.





Caution: If your rash becomes chronic, forms a "butterfly" shape over your cheeks, or is accompanied by high fever and joint pains, seek immediate medical attention to rule out more serious illnesses.

Natural Cures





Diet: Screen for and eliminate any foods to which you are allergic or sensitive. Eat an organic, whole foods diet, with plenty of green leafy vegetables and yellow vegetables such as carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and winter squash. Also drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid all processed foods and chemical food additives.





Flower Essences: Rescue Remedy Cream庐 applied topically to the affected areas.





Herbs: The following herbal remedies can speed healing: A tincture of equal parts burdock root and gentian root, the fresh juice of coriander, and/or aloe vera juice or gel.





Homeopathy: Useful homeopathic remedies include Belladonna, Sulfur, Graphites, and Calc carb.





Hydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment.


*Purified water is essential for any hydrotherapy treatment. Remedies for Treating Chlorinated Bath Water offers clear instructions and recommendations.





Juice Therapy: Drink fresh squeezed vegetable juices on a daily basis, especially carrot, beet, radish, and garlic juice.





Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can be helpful to speed healing: vitamin A and vitamin E (both orally and applied topically over the affected areas), vitamin C, essential fatty acids (EFAs), flaxseed oil, and amma linolenic acid (GLA). In addition, add half a teaspoon of baking soda to water and drink every fifteen minutes. Do this three times, and then every two to three hours for two to three days or until the reaction subsides.





Alternative Professional Care


If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating rashes: Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Detoxification Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, Osteopathy, Oxygen Therapy (Hydrogen Peroxide), and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Skin rash on my hands?
Have you eaten anything different lately? Could be an allergic reaction to something. How about changing laundrey soap? You may want to also soak your hand in an oatmeal bath.
Reply:I had that a couple weeks ago, and it has gotten a lot better. It is more than likey from the weather. But vasaline on them and wear mittens on your hands when you go to bed, it'll help a lot! Otherwise, dont use scented lotions. Make sure it is a dry skin one. Also, it could be from laundry soap. I know I get irritated skin if I don't use an Allergenic Free detergent. But this is on your hands, so I dont know if thats what it would be. Are you wearing any jewelry? I break out when I wear silver watches. And I would get a rash around my wrist area. Good luck to you!
