The skin on the thumb and first 2 fingers
of my right hand are peeling. It seems
to be worse when the skin has been washed.
Now, the symptems seem to be mirrored in
my left hand. Its very unsightly and
creams (moisturising) don't seem to help.
I'm going to the doctor next week but
wondered if anyone knows what this is
caused by, eczema or a fungal condition?
I seem to be quite susceptible to
athlete's foot and at the moment take an
acetic acid steroid spray for my ears -
very itchy, especially round the outer
edge and painful the more they dry out and
peel.
The ear problem has only existed for 3
years, but the hand problem has only been
around for about 3 months! Is it possible
this is related to a fungus that
spreads?
Thanks p mcshane
