Is this skin condition infectious?

2026-06-20 15:10:42
Hi doctor, What skin condition is it? And is it contagious or communicable? It has been present for about a year. It is only on my hands. It tends to worsen during the summer. It is itchy, but there is no pus discharge and no bleeding. The itching becomes more intense after mosquito bites. The rash/skin condition is confined only to my hands. Please suggest treatment for the same.
