Good morning. I have a wound on the side of my left hand below the thumb.
This is probably as a result of washing my hands with hot water repeatedly.
The wound is a red oval shape about 20mm by 15mm. The surface skin cracks open in multiple places and a small amount of yellow pus oozes out.
It is not painful at all, but sometimes it may be quite itchy. I manage not to scratch it 95% of the time.
