Itchy Fingers, Peeling. Had Infection In Fingers Last Year Also. Applying Fungal Ointment. Contagious? Suggestions?
Hi. I attend Cosmotology school, and I have had an infection in my fingers, 2 x's now. My fingers get VERY itchy, but the difference with this infection and the last, is this one seems to be more on my fingers than nailbed. I had acrylics on.Now the itching is gone, but fingers look bad, they are also peeling like crazy.
Is it contagious, I used fugal ointment, and soaked in warm, hot water. I think it is clearing up.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having some allergy to different cosmetics causing problem on fingers.
Go for one antibiotic medicine course if require.
Take antihistamine medicine like Benadryl as and when required.
apply triple acting cream on affected parts.
apply some moisturizing cream or lotion on the part.
Ok and take care.
