Itchy, peeling, burning skin on fingers, started with little bumps

I noticed little bumps on my pinky and ring finger on my left hand about a week ago.  Now my two fingers are swollen, itchy, burning, peeling, flaky and red.  I am not sure what it is and I don't have anything like this anywhere else.  The little bumps started peeling and now both fingers look really gross and are painful.

i suffer from psoriasis, on my hands. then this came,little bump that look like blisters, stupid me i popped it and put on a band aid, then the itch stated, and the raw fingers, then it spread. the doctor said it was muscular psoriasis, but i know she made a quick diagnosis, she gave me cream it left, then returned. every few months.
I think its related to fungus, i do clean my toes periodicly.
i may have had ring worm at one time and thats fungus related,
i could handle psoriasis but this is truly a pain in the a**.
im gonna try new creams and get back to you all.

I have red bumps that seem to ooze out clear liquid st times when I scratch. I try not too because that makes it worse. It's only on my fingers and sometimes appears between my fingers. I try not to irritate it and it usually goes away on its own but then it flares up again. I've been to 3 doctors and they all tell me something different. Is there no cure to this thing???

i have this same problem. it started on my third finger on my right hand and has now spread too all my fingers and has moved to my other hand and my fingers also. it is very painful, it itches like crazy and burns really bad. night time seems to be the worst time for it. i have had it for a month now and its not going away, it is just getting worse. my fingers are swollen and hard to bend. if anyone knows what this could be, please let me know.

im 28 and female and Ive had the same for 5 years. first noticed after birth of 1st child. At first i thought maybe i was allergic to my sons diapers or wipes. it comes and goes about every 2 weeks
Ive gotten so frustrated with docs cause its not contact dermatitis!!
my mom asked me if it comes during my menstral cycle... anyone else notice any patterns with your period and a breakout??? ive noticed i break out around ovulation time..

Mine finally went away.. I put this cream on called nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide cream.  It is for fungus related things (I know.. Eww!) I did NOT have a fungus but it was the only thing that worked for me! I posted earlier and had this for years! I recomend giving it a try. It can't hurt any worse than the itching and burning! But you have to put liberal amounts on constantly. Let me know if this has helped. It took a few weeks to subside so give it time.. And occassioally it does flare up, so I put some on and it's great! Hope I've helped
