Suggest Treatment For Dry, Cracked And Sometimes Bleeding Patch Of Skin On The Lower Half Of The Inside Of The Thumb

Dry, cracking, and sometimes bleeding patch of skin on lower half of inside of thumb for six weeks. Have tried A&D ointment, plain petroleum jelly, polysporin, skin crack cream, or new skin liquid bandage at different times, both bandaged and unbandaged, without success. I use rubber gloves to wash dishes, but have to wash hands frequently. Saw a wound doctor who suggested A&D and to leave it uncovered and dry when possible but no change in 10 days. Skin is very tight and recracks easily. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time and consideration

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related eczema probably due to the contact with detergents.

I suggest using Cetirizine 10 mg daily.

I also suggest using Hydrocortisone cream for local application.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contappct me again.

Kind regards!
