Skin allergy unidentified on right hand.
Some type of skin allergy that has affected three of my finger on the right hand. It starts burning when eating some spicy food using that hand. Sometimes due to dry weather these fingers become dry and start itching and cutting. This exists since almost three years. There are lines on those fingers and the fingerprints are lost. Otherwise it usually doesn't pose a problem.
