Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Patches On Toes And Fingers

hi I ve skin condition where I get some patches of red bumbs - circled red and sometimes itchy. then after awhile they became greyish , have bubbles and start to peel( peeling done by me) - circled green. they occur mainly on pale side of the toes and fingers . I ve also noticed that it occurs during the hotter seasons. it s been happening almost annually at least twice for the last 20 years. interestingly I get a very smooth skin afterwards. regards Rose

hi.

you must be suffering from ringworms or a fungal infection. it is best if you consult with a dermatologist for physical examination and confirmation. medication will be prescribed accordingly.

also, managed a good hygiene always and after washing your fingers and toes. dry it properly before putting in socks or shoes.

hope this helps.

good day!!
