Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 21 year old female. I have been getting white fluid from the infected part of my finger. I do not know how it got infected. I have this for the last one month. I used antibacterial ointments, but still it is not getting healed rather it is getting more and peeling away.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Do you wear rings on that finger or used to wear them before? Please send the image of that finger. Do you have any itching problems in other parts of the body or similar lesions? Please tell me the name of the ointment you used before.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

No, I am not wearing any ring on that finger. I used Fluticasone cream IP. No, I do not have any other itching problem.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is hand eczema (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Avoid contact with detergent. Use Momate-F (Mometasone furoate and Fusidic acid) cream twice daily or Diprovate-G (Betamethasone dipropionate and Zinc sulfate) cream twice daily. Olesoft cream or Aquasoft Max cream (moisturizers) apply twice a day for 15 days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the treatment with consent. Follow up after two to three weeks, if symptoms still persist.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
