I am having an allergic reaction or eczema on the skin of my hands. I would like to know what to apply to stop the itching.

If you are experiencing itching or allergic reactions on your hands, it is recommended to apply a fragrance-free moisturizing cream regularly. You can also consider using Vaseline or Eucerin™ ointments at night to help repair and protect the skin. Additionally, make sure to keep your nails short and clean, and consider wearing cotton gloves to prevent scratching and secondary infections. Avoid long, hot baths/showers and consider taking an antihistamine like Reactine™ for temporary relief from itching. Remember to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
