Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi
Thanks for your query

Now according to the description of the skin lesions that you have developed, there are two possibilities.
Either you have developed contact eczema of the hands or it is a fungal infection.
Now the treatment for both of these condition is different.
For contact eczema, mostly a topical steroid is required along with elimination of the suspected allergen.
For fungal infection,topical antifungal drugs are used by most dermatologists for its management.
I would recommend that you should see a dermatologist or a general physician soon so that proper diagnosis of the skin condition can be made.

Hope it helps
