Suggest Treatment For Rashes And Allergic Reaction In Fingerss
Hello
I recently stubbed my fingers and now have two mallet fingers on my right hand.
a. I have seen the doctor and have been given splints, they are keeping the fingers ends straight however should they not be slightly pushing up the finger ends?
b. Now a slight rash has developed on the lower part of each finger, red spots only really itchy if touched-looks like an allergic reaction. If this is due to my splints do i cream them or change washing technique?
Many Thanks

Hi.
As per your case history you are having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is –
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine like levocetirizine for 7-10days .
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid and hydroxyzine given only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
