62y female, seen for the first time. She has this desquamation 5 days ago on the hands, chest, and legs. It is itchy (very a lot!). Vital signs are normal, hasn't taken any new medication that could explain this. She doesn't have any known allergy. She feels good, she has none other symptom. Any idea of the diagnosis? treatment? I thought to eczema or other contact dermatitis or maybe psoriasis even if I'm not really convinced... I gave her local corticoids and an anti-histaminic. Normally she would come back on Friday.
Patient reports having this rash for years. Other than occasional itch, that is mild in severity, patient is asymptomatic, with the exception of a few of the lesions on her knuckles, which are tender to the touch. Patient does feel like sometimes the rash moves. She shares that it may also be worse when wet. Per patient, the rash is only on her hands (nowhere else on her body). She denies contacts with a similar rash. Patient received treatment in the past, triamcinolone, but was unable to take it as prescribed and then patient ended up giving the medication to her son for his eczema (he had no PCP). Patient believes her rash is likely eczema, but would like to rule out scabies as she has had exposure in the past and wants to make sure she does not have a chronic version of it.
