Itching and black patches only right hand. At first it was smaller in area. But day by day it spreads all over hand. I I use cetaphil moisturizing lotion. It reduces dryness but not itching. Pls help.

Itching & black spots may occur in many skin diseases like fungal infections, eczema & many other conditions. We don't understand what problem you have. In general, you can apply this lotion or coconut oil/vaseline for smoothening of skin & to reduce itching. You can also take tab allegra m, 2 times in a day for 7 days, & take once daily until itching will subside. But for proper diagnosis and treatment, you should consult with a proper dermatologist. If you can't consult physically in clinic due to present covid situation, you can take online consultation through Lybrate.
