Patient's Query

Hi,

My hands are extremely rough since childhood. I am 17 years old now. I have tried almost everything to get rid of this problem. I also have so many lines on my palm and fingers. Suggest me some treatment.
Answered by Dr. Sushil Kakkar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Hyperlinearity (lines in the palm and fingers) of palms is a feature of a condition called atopic dermatitis. These patients, in general have dry skin in their palms, soles and elsewhere as well.

I would suggest you to use a moisturizer twice daily upon the dry areas.

Especially those moisturizers which contain Urea or Ammonium lactate or Glycolic acid.
