Suggest Treatment For Dyshidrotic Eczema Like Spots On Fingers
dyshidrotic eczema
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
The spots are likely to be dyshidrotic eczema .Atopy is the most important factor associated with dyshidrotic eczema. It can also occur secondary to the use of some irritants and allergens that is chemicals on the hands or due to fungal infection elsewhere on the body.
You should wash your hands infrequently, avoid using harsh soaps and chemicals on the hands, use protective gloves while washing clothes and utensils and keep your hands moisturised by frequent and liberal use of moisturising cream.
In such cases I also recommend my patients to go for potassium permanganate compresses along with application of potent topical steroids like clobetasol propionate cream or halobetasol cream. I also recommend them to take oral antihistaminics like tablet levocetrizine or hydroxyzine.
I hope to have answered your query.
I would be happy to clarify any further doubts.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
