Have Dermatitis On Fingers And Hands Due To A Allergic Reaction. Tried Steroid Creams. No Change. Suggest The Cure?

default
Posted on Wed, 13 Nov 2013
Question: I have been dealing with a bad case of dermatitis on the majority of my fingers and hands, as a result of an allergic reaction (reacted to using the therapy putty and hand sanitizer) for over two months when working with an O.T. (hand specialist), after my fractured right radius was healed.

I have tried using two types of steriod creams, prescribed by two physicians, but both of the creams made my dermitis even worse. Nothing I have tried has improved the condition of my fingers and hands. I have never had any kind of this condition before starting the Occupational (hand) therapy. Do you have any suggestion regarding a cure?
Regarding the condition of my fingers, the skin continues to peel away and produce tiny little cuts, which are painful and interfer with my performing daily chores, working on the computer, etc., aside from looking very bad.
