Suggest Treatment For Redness And Itchiness On The Thumb
in the last week, i have developed a skin condition. An area of skin around my thumb has become red and itchy, and has bumps that look like a pimple in the center of these bumps. The skin has also become scaley and is peeling off. It started as a small circle like ringworm, but has spread. i have been putting anti-fungal cream on, and it seems to help, but it doesn t seem to go away.

Hello,
If you respond to anti-fungal cream you can continue for 2 to 3 weeks. If not better you may need to see a doctor to see your rash.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
