Question : Its over a month that my fingers of right hand are getting worse everyday. The skin of all the fingers are getting tore everyday and worsening whenever I am using water for cleaning(cant be avoided). Whenever my hand comes in contact with soap or salt or masalas it starts inflaming terribly. Have tried working using gloves but not a long time solution. This is the first time I am having this type of problem. Its not healing in any manner. Applies Tbact, Boroline, Hand cream but got no result.
