I've been having these small itchy bastards bugging me now for 2 weeks if not more. I think it's Dyshidrotic Eczema (I had a couple on the side of my fingers not to long ago) though not 100% sure. Anyone have any idea what this is and how to treat it without using steroid creams? Home remedies? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Super itchy, feels like it goes all the way to the bone? I have that on my palms, a skin allergy to chemicals used in jewelery making (but could be caused by any number of things). My doctor prescribed HydroxyzineHCL 25mg and I have been taking it for years.
Check it out with a doctor, the itch will drive you crazy.

thanks for the reply. I ended up using hydrocortisone cream, couldn't take the itching and burning. got rid of it pretty quick and hasn't come back since, but I'm sure it will again once the weather gets hot again. I still wanna find some natural solution for the future, so if anyone knows please share!
