Brief Answer:
Psoriasis or psoriasiform eczema, topical steroid, moisturizing cream

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Ask A Doctor service
I have gone through your query and reviewed the attached photographs.

It seems to be either psoriasiform eczema or psoriasis.
I would recommend you to apply topical steroid like clobetasol propionate cream on the affected areas twice daily along with the frequent and liberal application of a moisturizing cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire arms, hands, legs, and feet 2-3 times in a day.

Also, take antihistaminic like tablet cetirizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.

Steroidal preparations are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.

Keep the body moisturized, avoid harsh soaps, avoid hot water baths, and stay in a cool airy environment.

These measures will help in improving your condition.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
