Itchy hands, feet, and scalp

A shared exposure such as shampoo, hair dye, detergent, gloves, or cleaning products can irritate multiple sites. Eczema can affect hands and feet, while the scalp may become itchy from dryness or an inflammatory skin condition. Athlete's Foot commonly causes scaling or peeling between toes and does not explain every scalp symptom. Dyshidrotic Eczema may produce tiny blisters on the sides of fingers or soles. Contact Dermatitis is more likely when symptoms follow a new product or material.

List every new product, medicine, glove, shoe, and hair treatment used before the itch began. Use gentle fragrance-free cleansers, moisturise the hands and feet, keep the feet dry, and avoid scratching the scalp. Look for scale, blisters, cracks, redness, or fluid, and take photographs if changes come and go. Do not use the same cream on scalp and feet unless a clinician advises it. Ask whether Topical Antifungal Treatment fits toe scaling or peeling.

Arrange a dermatology review if several areas remain itchy, hair loss or sores develop, or symptoms disturb sleep. Seek urgent help for facial swelling, breathing difficulty, fever, severe pain, pus, rapidly spreading redness, or widespread blistering. A clinician can examine each site because one diagnosis may not account for every pattern.

Ask whether the scalp, hands, and feet show the same condition, whether a product allergy or fungal infection should be checked, and which treatments belong on each area. Share your exposure list and describe scale, blisters, cracks, soreness, and timing.
