Suggest Treatment For Rash On Hands And Swollen Skin Around Nails
I have a rash on my hands which is red, itchy, scaly and cracking to be raw and is causing the skin to thicken giving an odd touch sensation. The skin around my nail on the affected fingers is swollen. I have tried antifungal creams and nothing is working

Hello,
It seems to be hand eczema. I would recommend you to apply topical steroid antibiotic cream on the affected area twice daily along with frequent and regular application of a moisturizing cream containing white soft paraffin on the entire hands 3-4 times in a day.
Also take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg once or twice daily depending on the intensity of itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney
