Hello,
The issue of red blotchy white palms and feet indicate inflammation of the skin with contact spread after itching. As the local steroid cream is not responding, you require prescription of systemic antibiotics as doxycycline or else with corticosteroid pills to control the issue at its best.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
