Pompholyx / boils on pinky finger

2021-05-23 16:47:17
Hi, On right hand, between pinky finger and ring finger, boils are seen in cluster on pinky finger. When googled, I saw many search results mentioning this as Pompholyx. However, I am not sure what it is. It has been nearly three weeks since this started and I have been applying coconut oil on it. While the application of coconut oil has stopped the itching, boils have still not disappeared and are increasing. Attaching pictures for reference. Please help. Thanks in advance. Sunitha from Bangalore.
