itchy fingers

[havinmysay]

HELP between my fingers are sooo itchy,red and sore iv tried lanacane but no different what else can i use and what has caused this?

Possibly too much exposure to detergents?
Try using a barrier cream and rubber gloves whenever using any detergent or chemical.
Also use a moisturising cream like Vaseline Intensive Care. If it doesn't clear up, it could be the start of dermatitus, so see you G.P. to be on the safe side.

It could be chilblains.You can get them on your hands as well as your feet,in the cold weather.

Try Diprobase . You can get over the counter from the chemist.
I used to get itchy chapped hands especially in the cold weather. Another ABer recommended it to me and it is really good.
It's an emollient and barrier cream. No lanolin .I use it just like you would any ordinary hand cream.Cures any sorts of itchycoos .

havinmysay - Are you allergic to any animals?

[havinmysay]

skyep-no im fine with animals and not been around any

its just flared up these past few weeks and seems to be getting worse

im takin isotretinoin for my spots so im thinking this could have triggered it off

is there very small blisters there, sounds like dermatitus, get some hydrocortisone cream, ask for it at the chemists

[havinmysay]

no theres not any blisters either just really itcy red and sore OMG its drivin me mad

[lindapinda]

If it is chilblains,little red lumps,that get really itchy,you can get Adalat Retard tablets from your GP,I have found them to work really well.

hydrocortisone cream, stops itching as well, i'd try it, it always works for me

if its only between your fingers, it sounds like scabies. You need to see a doctor
