instruction: hi doctor I have a very painful skin condition on the sides of my thumbs and forefingers it started months ago and is steadily getting worse and spreading to other fingers I also have it on one of my toes the nails have gone very thick and have a chalky formation under the nail this is not painful but I have lots of tiny water filled pockets under the skin that eventually crack and bleed I have to wear plasters on my fingers to stop the infection as the skin is constantly splitting and bleeding my doctor has prescribed me four creams over the last four months they are betnovate dermovate lotriderm and fucibet but none have worked I am very aware that these creams need to be used very sparingly but my skin seems very thin so I have stopped using the last cream he prescribed fucibet as I am worried that it may give me lasting damage like all of us with medical problems I have been online and I am pretty sure that I have discord eczema I have been waiting for a dermatologist appointment for two months I cannot wait any longer what do you think and what treatment if any can I get
output: hi I have seen the pictures yes this is eczema only and you are using the correct cream but the problem is that it is a very resistant condition so it takes time to get resolved you should avoid touching soap detergent chemical cement or any other chemicals you have to take oral steroids also to get faster relief also use good moisturizer frequently can apply fucibet fusidic acid and betamethasone cream and put some cover over the finger to allow the cream goes deeper also use moisturizer at least three to four times a day if you feel itching then you should take levocetirizine 10 my
