How To Remove Dry Scaly Rashes From Fingers?

Hi, Recently I have discovered a rash on my index and middle fingers. I bealieve it first appeared after I fingered my girlfriend (although not the first several times, but only since she got on birth control). It got better over the summer when we spent several weeks apart from each other, but after we met up again it got worse. The rash looks like dry, scale-y skin. It doesn t itch however it hurts when the skin breaks open.

Hi,

It may be contact allergic dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. There may be some cause. In your case,fingering may be responsible.

I would suggest.

- tab cetirizine daily
- tab deflazacort in tapering dose
- apply tacrolimus 0.03% oint
- avoid fingering.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
