Levity aside - you don't have dyshidrosis?
I get it, particularly during severe anxiety or stress.

@itsok normally no. Usually itches.
But obviously if you scratch and it bursts, then yeah, it hurts.
I also have to use unscented stuff.
And wear kitchen gloves if I'm doing dishes and stuff.

@itsok no worries, I just thought that might be it when I saw the pics.
I know how maddening it can be

I was expecting a photo to aid with a potential prognosis. Otherwise, it's merely supposition, and...I don't like that when it comes to medical stuff.

@itsok Bacterial infections can be painful, it's not a must-be symptom, but it's a common one.
The angles of the images make it look more swollen than it probably is. If it's fungal, which I don't see symptoms of, other than peeling skin, I'd use a cold compress for the swelling, and nothing else except for Naproxen for pain mitigation.

@Amyrakunejo my doctor said if it was fungal it probably would’ve responded to the two antifungals we tried first. So now we’re trying a steroid. It might look more swollen because of the angle I have to turn my hand so that the texture can be seen.
Again, there is no pain whatsoever

@itsok Still, I would go see a dermatologist, just in case.

probably psoriasis, but there's treatment for it if it gets severe

@itsok when my dad was around your age he had it severe. he had to get in a bath of some sort and they used infrared or something like that to "zap" it. but that was quite a few years ago. it cleared up. doesn't sound like you are suffering too much. you needn't worry.

Get a second opinion?
Is it itchy? Painful? Swelling? Redness?
itsok · 31-35, F
@mindstruggle slightly itchy, a few times per day. No pain, a partial raised edge, little discoloration, no change with consistent antifungal. Very slowly spreading
itsok · 31-35, F
