    Red & hot & painful hands...

    Ok so it's a bit of a weird one. The palms of my hands are red, painful & warm - in fact they feel like they are burnt, I can't tolerate heat of any kind on them.
    I thought maybe I had a reaction to the dishwashing liquid or something but last night they were a little bit better & then today they got worse again. And I think it's starting in my feet.

    Any ideas?

    Could it be your washing powder?

    Can you give nurse on call a call and see what they have to say.

    Haven't changed the washing powder. I have changed shampoo, and dish liquid... I thought it was that until today when it got worse & I have used neither for a couple of days.

    I don't know if I'd call nurse on call, I feel silly as it is

    When I was having unexplained rashes for months, that is how I knew my antihistamines were wearing off, my palms would get incredibly red and itchy. It turns out that I probably had a reaction to a virus. If you are willing to try some antihistamines it might work.

    Do you think Demazin would do it?

    Probably, I was on one zyrtec every other day for around six months.
