instruction: hello doctor I was diagnosed with fungal infection in hand fingers for more than six months I was taking treatment with more than four different medicine for about a month long for each medicine but it was not cured my physician said it was due to the winter season and also advised me to do not use detergent or any other cleaning products even if I maintained this and complete the treatment for a month after withdrawing the treatment with the doctor permission it would appear again it was on the fingers near the nail and also between the fingers joints with water blisters it ozes out then dry and cracks it hurts like burn some time especially when I use my finger to touch or peel onion or ginger or garlic it aggravates since it was lockdown I cannot go to the hospital and the doctor asked me to use the ointment until it looks normal then told me to stop using it I followed him but after stopping it appear again but I do not know whether I could apply the same ointment which I used for treatment for two months because he said it will make the skin thinner
output: hello I have read your query and understood your concern as per history and pictures it seems to be allergic contact dermatitis to me such condition tends to recur very often I would advise you to kindly use double layered gloves always while doing household work using detergent or chemical since long term use of such creams make the skin thinner so it is advised to continue the creams containing steroids like clobetasol halobetasol for a week followed by maintenance therapy meaning apply the creams over weekend like saturday and sunday while active disease you may use oral anti allergics like levocetirizine my once daily in the night time for a week use ample amount of moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated I hope this helps
