Brief Answer: Details below Detailed Answer: Hi, Thanks for writing to us. You are probably having a type of eczema known as ring eczema. As you have rightly mentioned, it occurs due to trapped water, soap, sweat beneath the ring. Sometimes presence of nickel metal in the ring itself induces eczema. To treat the same Use a good emollient cream like cetaphil dam multiple times in a day Use a mild soap to wash hands when required and always XXXXXXX it dry followed by application of an emollient cream Apply a potent steroid cream over affected area like clobetasol cream two times in a day. Hopefully in a week the skin would get back to normal. Once its normal you may wear your ring again but make it a point to take it out once in a day for a while to remove any collected soap and water. Also to avoid nickel allergy, apply a transparent nail polish over the under surface of ring to avoid allergic contact dermatitis due to ring itself. Hope this helped. Take care
