My skin at the back and front of the hands irritates at various places early in the morning, if i had spicy food or pickle in the evening. The skin has become thick on these spots, mostly at the points at joints or places where there is friction with other things. This problem is persisting for last 15 years.

It seems to be a problem due to constant itching and scratching leading to a condition called lichen simplex chronicus. The underlying cause is skin hypersensitivity. It needs to be treated with emollients and topical medications.
