Red patches in and around knuckle

2020-11-30 17:56:46
So I've been using liquid handsoap of reputed brands quite frequently every day since March. A few weeks ago,I started feeling a burning sensation in and around the knuckles in my right hand and the burning area had red/brown patch. I didn't take it seriously thinking that once I limit the use of liquid handsoap, the burning sensation and the red patches will go away. Now it does NOT burn anymore, but the red/brown patches are still there. Please suggest an ointment !! Photos are attached.
