Symptom narrative

2 months post vaccine I began to develop a small patch on my left palm of what I thought was dryness from washing hands with alcohol gel. This continued and red patch developed into dry flaky, cracking and bleeding. This spread to the right palm and exhibited same contact dermatitis as the left. Dr. could not determine what this was so she did a biopsy and it did not come back as virus. Treatment of a steroid was prescribed and had zero affect after 6 months. Next treatment was .1% Tacrolimus Ointment, and have been on this for >6 months. Had little or no affect, so stopped using and now just apply Eucerin to keep the palms from drying out.

Medical history

Consistent contact dermatitis began as a small dry patch on left hand. Initially attributed it to ALL of the alcohol used to wash hands. This soon spread to my right hand and went from small oddly shaped patch to now encompassing almost completely, both palms. Continue to this day, dry cracking, bleeding flaky patches of skin.
