persistent cracked skin on one finger (skin infection?)

by c4d3d2, Nov 26, 2007 12:15AM
I appear to have some sort of skin infection on a single finger of my left hand.  It hasn't gotten any better/worse in roughly 8 months, but it is annoying!

The skin is cracked and painful, and occasionally there are very tiny blisters filled with a yellow-clear liquid.  It has not spread to other fingers.  This same fluid is sometimes found around the cracked skin as well.

I will go to a dermatologist when I can get the time but is there something I can do in the meantime to try to clear this up?

WOW!!  Did you ever find out anything further about your finger?  My husband has the EXACT same thing going on....same finger, same symptoms, about as long as yours!  Do you wear a gold wedding band on that finger too?  My husband had to remove his ring it got so bad...wonder if it stemmed from that?
