I assume you have had the 5 Day Extending Patch Test for Allergic Contact Dermatitis, ACD. My initial form ACD began just like you described, itchy red palms and scalp. I would pull my hair to stop the itch and my husband kept warning me I would go bald. Turns out that was ACD. Because of the patch test learned what contacts to eliminate from my environment and have that under control. Had to toss out 98% of grooming products, clothing, linens, change furniture, mattress, pillow, shoes, cleaning products and more. Zero hand eczema and scalp normal. After ACD I developed Grover's along with another form of eczema. Eczema is an auto immune disease and those of us with autoimmune diseases usually have several. Also although much improved eliminating contacts still had issues to a lesser extent and finally made the sacrifice of diet alteration. Basically no processed sugar and limited natural sugar for life. That turned the corner for me. Dr. William Crooks book, The Yeast Connection Handbook motivated me to try his plan which helps with eczema and chronic yeast issues. Simply, easy to read.
