Itchy palms

2021-05-23 16:55:27
My palms have become extremely itchy from a week. I'm suspecting the usage of alcohol based sanitizer. However, the other day I tried to hold a grill titling to lift something and my hands just became pink with aggressive itching and slight swelling. What to do about this?
