At last someone else that suffers with this. I get it on the backs of my hands and forearms and occasionally on the tops of my feet. On one trip I even sat there and pricked everyone of them with a pin to see if they would clear up faster (beat scratching them to death) but it didn't help. I have travelled all over the world and the only place that I get this is Bali and Las Vegas. I guess it has something to do with the humidity in these places. I did see a doc in USA when there and he said that it was a type of dermatitis/excema that is triggered by the weather. I also spoke to my doc back at home and she said the same thing. I have tried all sorts of creams etc and nothing has seemed to help get rid of them but stop itch creams and calomine lotion relieve the itch. It clears up as soon as I get home. My doc said to try a steriod based cream next time and that should help but I am not keen and still not convinced that it will help that much. Very itchy and frustrating. Please let me know if there is anything that you find that helps.
