What Is This? Keep Getting It (Pic)

Hi All.
I get this rash on my hands. Palms and 1 finger in particular. Extremely itchy, heat or hot water makes it worse. Had it for a few years on and off now but seems to be getting worse.
Ive just bought some Canesten to try to help.
Any advice would be brilliant. Thank you in advance.

The Canesten might help but you might find that Canesten HC would be better. That is only Canesten with Hydrocortisone in it, so try buying some Hydrocortisone and putting them on together.
You could also ask the Pharmacist's advice.
The generic name for Canesten , is Clotrimazole - it's cheaper!
An alternative anti fungal, is Daktarin generic name Miconozale
But I think you should ask the Pharmacist first, then your GP and if you still don't get an answer, ask for a Dermatology referral.

I find DermNetNZ particularly helpfull. I was told that I had Pompholyx but in fact, it turned out to be something different.

Perhaps start at Pompholyx and see what your GP says and ask for a referral to a Dermatologist.
