#ChennaiRainsHelp Dry, scaly patch-knuckle

2015-12-22 04:21:13
I have a dry, scaly, itchy, inflammatory skin patch over the knuckle of the right forefinger. It used to come and go before, but now for over 1 year has stayed, but the condition has never been bad like what it is now. Applying oil spreads it. It was just like a 25 paise sized patch before, now the size has doubled.
