Suffering With Eczema On Hands, Bad Skin Breaks, Spreading On To Arms, Fingers Numb. Solution?
I suffer with eczema on my hands and constantly gets really bad that the skin breaks and takes months to heal. Cold weather obviously makes it worse as I can t get them warm. However, recently I ve noticed eczema like rash spreading up my arm and it s flared up on inside of elbows- this is rare. Also my hands are constantly purple from coldness and last night I had just 1 finger go white and numb, it then went blue, raynaurd s? These problems are new and becomming a problem, I m concerned there is something wrong. Other rashes/marks appearing on ither parts of my body too.

Hello
thanks for using health care magic
It would be best to see a dermatologist for appropriate diagnosis. Rash on the hands could be due to contact dermatitis in which case there is a substance that you are exposed to frequently and which causes you to have the skin reaction. Such substance, when you abstain from using or touching it, your symptoms get better.
So, it is imperative to meet a doctor for a detail examination and appropriate diagnosis
