Q. I have dark spots on my fingers. What would this be and how to treat?
Hello doctor,
- I have dark spots on my fingers that I have noticed this month only.
- It seems to be dry skin and this area on my fingers look bruised, as if they were left in the cold and looks almost purplish.
- In the past I did have tiny bumps that were itchy on the sides of my fingers but, they are not there any longer.
- I am concerned as I do not want this to spread.
- I am worried that it may be due to me having chronic fatigue syndrome.
- They do not hurt at all but, do look like bruising.
- What would this be and how to treat?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
There are two probabilities of your condition, one is allergic contact dermatitis and the other is pompholyx which is also known as dyshidrotic eczema.
Since you have not mentioned your age, complaint, onset and progression of these bumps in details, I am unable to comment anything with a solid base.
Meanwhile use Clobetasol cream twice daily for 20 days (strictly 20 days) and review after that.

Thank you doctor,
I am a 30 year old female.
- I am healthy but, have had those tiny itchy bumps that definitely look like dyshidrotic eczema (from looking at pictures online).
- I had them flare up over 5 months ago and exactly where the bumps used to be, I now have these darker spots.
- The spots have become darker in the past one month.
- Will this cream remove the discoloration or will it disappear on its own or will I always have the hyperpigmentation?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for sending a detailed description.
- Dyshidrotic eczema has a very unknown course and etiology, but be assured that this is not a permanent hyperpigmentation.
- Since you have repeated episodes of it, this is presenting like a hyperpigmentation.
- Now, do not use that cream. This is post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and will slowly subside with time.
- But for the next episode of dyshidrotic eczema, do not forget to apply this cream, as it is the treatment of choice for dyshidrotic eczema.
