Hi,

As per your query, you have itching on hands, elbow and neck which seems to be due to contact dermatitis, eczema and could be due to an allergic reaction.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you keep your extremities clean and dry. Do not apply any cosmetic product and take antihistamines like benadryl. If the condition doesn't get well then consult a dermatologist for proper examination. The doctor may order a blood test, skin patch test along with physical examination. The doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants, corticosteroid along with antibacterial or antiviral depending upon the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari, Dentist
