Hi Ashik, it seems that you are having acrosclerosis, skin of fingers are sclerotic, i.e. hard bound .. With necrotic ulcers. It is one type of autoimmune disease and connective tissue disorder. Antibiotics with anti inflammatory drugs, hydroxychloroquin, peripheral vasodilators etc. should be tried. Before that you should be thoroughly investigated and firm diagnosis should be done .. Then you take treatment from dermatologist.. Ok
