It sounds like you might be dealing with a condition Ayurvedically known as “Kotha”, which is similar to what allopathic medicine may refer to as dyshidrotic eczema or pompholyx. This condition usually arises due to imbalances in the Pitta and Vata doshas, particularly when aggravated by the heat of the summer season.

To address this, first, focusing on reducing these dosha imbalances can be very helpful. Start with dietary adjustments: incorporate more cooling and hydrating foods like cucumbers, melons, and coconut water to your diet. Avoid spicy, fermented, and fried foods as these can aggravate Pitta further. Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and keep your body cool.

You might also want to apply a soothing paste made from sandalwood (Chandan) and rose water on your hands. This natural remedy can help calm the skin and reduce itching. Mix Chandan powder with rose water to form a paste, apply it over the affected areas and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing off gently with cool water.

Additionally, practice some calming, cooling Pranayama techniques such as Sheetali or Sheetkari to help soothe both Pitta and calm the nervous system. Engage in gentle exercises like yoga, avoiding excessive heat-inducing activities.

Keep your hands dry after washing, avoiding excessive moisture but apply a natural emollient like Aloe Vera gel or coconut oil, which can be very nourishing and healing for the skin.

Practicing regular abhyanga (oil massage) using cooling oils such as coconut or Brahmi oil can also help nourish the skin and calm Vata dosha. Covering your hands with cotton gloves when exposed to sun may also prevent flare-ups, providing further protection.

If symptoms persist or become more severe, it’s advisable to seek the assistance of an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide more personalized treatment and herbal formulations. Safety first; never hesitate to consult a healthcare professional to ensure proper care, especially if any concerning signs like infection arise.
