red and harden skin under finger ring
by Winone, Apr 18, 2009 02:52AM
I cannot wear my wedding ring due to a red rash and harden skin in its place.
Before the rash started, I would wash my hands and notice that I have been leaving moister under my ring since drying was difficult to get too. This has never been a problem before but now we live in an area where the water is hard. Could this be why I now have a rash?
What can I do to get rid of this rash and be able to wear my wedding ring again?

I cannot confirm anything without examination but it sounds like contact dermatitis. Irritant dermatitis, the most common type of contact dermatitis, involves inflammation resulting from contact with acids, alkaline materials such as soaps and detergents, cosmetics, or other chemicals.
Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime.Also pls don’t wear your ring till the symptoms improve. Wash the skin with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Pat it dry. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and see if this improves.If the symptoms still persist then you can apply mild steroid like dermacort.
If the irritation persists then pls get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing.Kind regards.
I will follow your suggestion.
Its nice knowing people care in this world.
Thank you again.
