mysterious hand condition

Hi there everyone,I am posting for the first time here. I have had a
terrible hand condition for over a year. I am 56 years old,female and
have never had any kind of skin condition before in my life. Before
this conditon appeared, I had worked several months with my husband
putting up OSB, caulking windows and other jobs, because we were
putting on an addition to our house. I kept going to doctors and
they seemed perplexed. Finally, a dermatologist scraped a bit
and said it was not a fungus and he thought it was eczema. He
couldn’t seem to explain why I have this condition,just prescribed a
very potent steroid cream which does little. My forefingers on both
hands were extremely dry and hard. And painful. No itching ever
though. I am coming here to learn about any of your experiences and
hope to get a little more insight into this horrible problem. I have
given up on the doctors, they don’t seem to know what it is all about
either. Just several presciptions for a very strong steroid cream.

Thanks, Barb

    Hi Barb! Welcome!
    Check out an Oriental Meridian chart online. This will give you the
    corresponding organs to those fingers!
    for instance if it is the bladder or kidneys, drinking more water, no soda etc
    could clear it up fast!
