Eczema or fungal infection?

[MS_1234]

On and off over the past year I've had dry skin on my hands, the dry skin seems to come from small bubbles under the skin that come to the surface, it seems to affect both hands on the index finger and also the bottom corner of the palm.

It does seem to come back in the same spots every few months and I do wash my hands probably a little much which dries them out, the reason I've started to ask is because it also looks to have appeared on my partners finger?

would a fungal infection go away and come back? I do think I have a fungal nail infection that I've had for over a year so that could be a source?


Unsure how to upload images to show?

You aren't able to upload photos to the forum, since photos is a poor way to get a diagnosis- it's always best to see a doctor in person to get an accurate diagnosis.

I don't think what you have sounds like eczema- it's not usually bubbles that come to the skin- it's more of a dry rash, flaky- you can get some bumps, but I've never seen bubbles with it.  If your partner is showing symptoms- it's probably a good idea to just get it checked out by a doctor to be certain of what it is- that way they can also treat it and you can start getting it healed up, hopefully, more permanently.  Get an appointment with your doctor to have them look and let us know how you are doing!

Been to the the doctors here in the UK, wasn’t really sure what it was, said it doesn’t look fungal and is most likely a form of eczema.

This wouldn’t explain my partner showing symptoms.
