Customer Question

On my hands only, I have developed a red rash. Also between two of my fingers, I have developed a discoloration that looks like a bruise - it starts at the crack between my fingers and goes up to the knuckle (about 1/2 inch). Can you help?

Hi. I will do my best to advise. However, please note that this does not substitute an in-person consultation with a doctor.

I cannot be certain without seeing a picture of the rash, but what you describe sounds like an eczema. The best way to treat eczema on the hands is to
1.use a moisturiser containing 10% urea, (like eucerin) every few hours to stop the hands from going dry.
2. Betamethasone propionate steroid ointment once a day (available only on prescription).
In some cases, this can be caused by an allergy to something you are coming in contact with and hence if it is not any better with the above treatments, then it would be a good idea to see a dermatologist and get allergy tests done.
