I have eczema on my right pinky and normally it's not too bad, a bit rough but no open wounds. However since I started working, about 2 months ago, with ALL that hand-washing, I find my little pinky inflamed and cracked open. Hurts and itches a lot and leaks a small amount of serous-sang discharge. Everytime I get my pinky wet, it gets irritated as u can imagine so hand washing is quite painful :S I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to protect it at work?
Have a bandaid like dressing made by 3M called a Nexcare bandage. It has a bandaid like middle with a tegaderm like adhesive part. Used it on a palm wound at work and it worked wonderfully. Stayed on well. Kept wound protected and kept germs out. Don't know how it would work on a finger but might be worth a try. Think I picked it up at Walgreens.
