Itchy Red Hands

[sengas]

Hi another question from me thank god for this site, ok I am 60 years old female and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes over a year ago that's being treated by diet only right now_- recently in the evenings I have noticed that the palms of my hands are very red in colour and itchy I haven't been duly concerned as by the following morning all's well. Now I am finding these past few days and today my palms are red and hot I am at a loss I don't know if this is related to my diabetics , any help would be appreciated thank you.

I doubt very much, that your symptoms are anything to do with your type 2 diabetes.

Have you been using new detergent ..washing up liquid, cleaning fluid etc. Etc

Might it be eczema?

If you are an eczema sufferer it could be that. I suffer with eczema but if i get stressed it develops into Pompholyx which is an extreme form of eczema. This gives me a burning sensation on my palms and the sides of my fingers. The skin is sore and itchy. it blisters and then over the next few days peels off. A strong steroid cream from the doctors helps to clear it up. Not sure if this helps you at all.

Again - since you have other symptoms on your other thread - it's time to go and see your doctor.
