[|Human|] it started when i noticed the acidic juice of a tomato caused my fingers to itch, started using gloves and it went away. well it is back and worse. it itches so badly that i can t help but scratch, the little blisters ooze and dry. skin is very dry and stays red all the time and has now spread to both hands (top and bottom) and both arms. sometimes when it itches, i will let hot water run over it, i guess it triggers the nerve receptors and it feels wonderful. any suggestions?
[|AI|]  I suggest you need to avoid washing hands with soap as it will irritate skin more. Also use plenty of emollients (moisturizing creams) - this will help form a protective layer on skin. In case of redness & blisters - you seem to have a condition called - Pompholyx eczema - which needs treatment with topical steroid based creams - depending on the country you reside - you may be able to find some preparations available without script (they will help you to some degree, but they are weaker in strength). Hope this helps
