What Causes Itchy Swelling On Palms & Soles?

Hi Dr, My palms and soles are itchy and swollen, It paints when i walk. now its combined with sore throat, I have red patches on my both palms, I have pain in my fingers as well. I am not understanding whats happening, The couple of doctors i met suggested its a food allergy, and gave me medicines which didnt help. One doctor gave me steroid tablets which gave me temp relief. But the problem still persist, does anyone have any idea what is it ?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is is possible that it is a type of eczema possibly dyshidrotic eczema which can affect the palms and soles though there are also other causes.

It may be affected by allergens so you can consider an allergy test to try and determine if there are any particular irritants that cause your reaction.

In addition to avoiding these allergens, the use of topical steroids and oral medication may also be needed.

You may want to consider a dermatologist.

I hope this helps
