What Is A Itchy Rash Oozing Clear Liquid On The Middle Finger Suggestive Of?

I have what looks like a rash on my left hand on my middle finger. Whatever is itches and is draining clear fluid. It is not poison ivy - I consulted with the CVS pharmacist and she said maybe it was a spider bite - 4 weeks ago - I used some Cortizone for a while - but it is no better. Any thoughts

Hello,
This sounds most like dishydrotic eczema. Steroid creams are often used to treat this, but here is a website with more information. Other treatments such as phototherapy would be done by a dermatologist.
