I have been diabetic for the last three years and have itchy patches on my hand that worsen when I eat brinjal or certain types of fish. What medicine or ointment should I use to treat this?

Your itchy patches suggest an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis, likely triggered by histamine-rich foods like brinjal and certain fish. Because diabetes can impair skin healing and increase infection risk, careful management is essential. First, strictly avoid these trigger foods. For temporary relief, you can apply a mild, over-the-counter 1% hydrocortisone cream twice daily for up to a week, combined with a thick, fragrance-free moisturizing emollient to protect your skin barrier. An oral antihistamine like cetirizine can also help calm the itching. Please consult a dermatologist or your doctor for a formal diagnosis and a safe, tailored treatment plan.
