Skin rash and itching

2026-06-21 01:20:13
I have an itchy rash on both hands for about a year. It worsens in summer and after mosquito bites. No pus or bleeding. It is only on my hands. Could you please advise the likely condition, whether it is contagious, and the treatment? attached are the photos for reference.

Based on this, you may be dealing with a form of localized chronic eczema (like dyshidrotic eczema) or an exaggerated hyper-reactivity to insect bites. However, for a proper diagnosis and to confirm if it is a contagious condition like scabies as suggested on the panel, we need a high-resolution microscopic assessment of the skin burrows and a dynamic review of your daily contact allergens.
Health Tips
To accurately review high-resolution images of your hand rash, check for specific allergy triggers, and provide an immediate, targeted medical plan to completely stop the itching, please book a direct consultation session via my Practo profile."
