Scaly brown skin on hand
Both of my hands have scaly brown patches, while the area below the wrist, and the rest of my body are smooth (as shown on attached photo). What skin condition is this? Is there a cure?

hi there young lady.
Thanks for the clear pic posted.
Multiple factors including obsession with washing hands, allergy to detergents, light ☀️ aggravation etc can all lead to this skin condition.
However, much more detailed history and information on your problem needs to be provided for us to make a pucca diagnosis and give you a clear action plan for its management...but don't worry, there is a cure.
Should you require an early resolution and a detailed assessment and management plan, do reach out on this App via an INSTANT ONLINE Consultation 🙏
