Stress certainly can provoke the symptoms. It may be good to look at how you cope with stress and seek help when needed.
I had skin problems for many years and found the most important is to moisturize your skin all the time (every time after washing your hands which may be 30x a day). And I would use a nonprescription anti-inflammation and anti-itch products several times a day. Always had Sigmacort at home, but had many prescription creams from the Dermatologist as well.
Try to refrain from rubbing and itching / scratching your skin at all time !

My sister in law suffers similar conditions and got diagnosed with Dermatitis . She is a easily stressed person and was told if she doesn’t find a way to cope then all these creams etc won’t do much for her . Good luck .

When I’m stressed, my hands are all clammy and sweaty :/ So embarrassing if I have to shake someone’s hand. I often wonder what they think of a woman with sweaty palms, it’s a bit of a butch thing I think, so don’t grip too hard in the hand shake lol

Hope you got on top off this and your hands are no long causing you issues

Good Luck

A barrier type cream would be worth trying

It sounds like psoriasis to me, I’d go to the gp & get it checked out. My suggestion would be not to apply creams as they can feed it

I wouldn’t use a moisturiser and use a barrier cream instead

Your hands sound more affected than mine but I found out wearing gloves made my hands worse. Give it a try both ways.

I have this problem on and off and I use sorbolene, I find this is fantastic for most things.

Maybe apply aloe vets to stop the reddening

I get this sometimes from stress or change in season, you are doing the right things but if it is really bad a prescription cream might be the answer.

It could be a nerve rash from being anxious, try a cream from the chemist and a barrier cream also

maybe a good hand cream would help

there are some good comments here

maybe carry cream with you and when you feel like that put cream on and rub it in might help

Your whole system is perhaps a little out of kilter, but my doctor always says that there is nothing like sorbelene, for all itches scratches, etc… so perhaps if you can get a sample to try, o r even buy a small one from the supermarket as I believe would be good for nappy rash if the new baby ever gets that.

try using chamomile or oat based moisturizer

I would switch to Dermaveen moisturiser and if that doesn’t work, I would go to your gp.

Go and see your GPs there is a safe antihistamine that you can take that might settle the itch down
