What are the potential causes and recommended treatments for persistent, severe itching of the hands and fingers that worsens at night, disrupts sleep, and has failed to respond to antihistamines and topical antiseptics for over a month?

Given that the severe itching is on your hands and worsens significantly at night, one strong possibility to consider is scabies, a very common and highly treatable skin condition. Other possibilities include dyshidrotic eczema or contact dermatitis. Because over-the-counter options haven't helped, I highly recommend seeing a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis. If it is scabies, they can prescribe a generic permethrin cream. If it is eczema, a topical corticosteroid may be recommended.
