Black patches on fingers
Hi,
I have got these black patches on my right hand fingers since last 2 months. Feels Mild itchy at times (not everytime), rough in feel.
It started showing up after I started washing utensils myself because of lockdown. First I thought it may be because of some allergy to soap.
But it has increased to 5 more places in different fingers of right hand. What are these? Are they Contagious as I have a 10 month baby?
Thanks in advance.

It looks like allergic patch, stop washing your hands too frequently , do not touch washing soaps like Rin bar or Whim bars, keep applying oil. Dont worry it is not contagious.
