Question by Niki: Eczema on fingers-whats the cause?
My sister has eczema on her fingertips. She’s 29. She’s been a vegetarian for 15 years and a vegan for a few years. I’m wondering if her diet is the cause? She also swims and its aggrivated by the chemicals in the water. Will she ever get rid of it? It is spreading a little to her palms. She’s had it for about 2 years.

Answer by peyemitte Some chemicals in most of the liquid soaps or detergents may cause that. It’s the best not using them. Regular soaps are better and try to keep the area moist.

Question by ihatechunli: Did my athlete’s foot cause eczema on my finger and hand?
So this is my 2nd time getting athlete’s foot in my life. The 1st time I also got it on one of my fingers. This time the same thing happened… I thought/think? The infection on my foot (actually just my big toe) is going away but my finger has gotten much worse! And not instead of redness and itching, it’s painful and has several little bumps on it. AND it’s spread to the palm of my hand. Is it eczema? What could it be? What do I do? Is it contagious? If I touch something and someone else touches it, will they catch it? (if it’s athlete’s foot or eczema)?
Thank you!

Answer by MDgirl athletes foot is a fungal infection, when u have it on your feel dont touch your feet. and yes u can have a fingal infection anywhere, even down there, so watch what u touch and wash your hands well…the little bumps seem like a rash or allergy, try a benadryl. if it doesnt work try moisturizing, doesnt sound like anything contagious…then again…
Chemical Preservatives-Parabens Parabens are a class of chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. They are to be found in shampoos most skincare products, mens cosmetics and toiletries, baby care personal lubricants, topical pharmaceuticals, tanning solutions, and toothpaste. They are also used as food additives. Unfortunately Parabens can cause skin irritations and contact dermatitis, Rosacea , paraben allergies and premature skin aging. Scientific studies – Report that parabens were found in samples of breast tumors, these studies have resulted in a call for further research. This same study has fueled the belief that parabens in underarm deodorants and other cosmetics can migrate into breast tissue and contribute to the development of tumors. Some scientists believe that it may be correlated with breast cancer, based on a study by UK scientists in which preservative chemicals were found in samples of breast tumors. Their analysis of 20 breast tumors found high concentrations of parabens in 18 samples. What supports this argument is based on the ability of parabens to mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. Some estrogens are known to drive the growth of tumors. Given that breast cancer is a large killer of women and a very high percentage of young women use underarm …
Via www.dermtv.com – Red itchy and swollen eyelids are at least annoying and at worst disabling, and they happen almost exclusively to women. So what is the culprit? Dr. Schultz will share with you why you won’t have to look farther than your finger tips. Transcript Itchy red swollen eyelids is a vexing and annoying problem that I see mostly in my female patients, and the most common cause of this problem, believe it or not, is nail polish. There are only two things that touch the skin of your eyes—your fingers and your make-up, and it’s usually not your make-up. Nail polish only causes this reaction if you’re allergic to it in the first 4-6 hours after it’s been applied while it’s still drying because the chemicals are much more irritating in the liquid nail polish than in the dry nail polish. They actually change when they’re on your nails, and those chemicals, after 6-8 hours, are no longer irritating. So the next time you wake up with red swollen itchy eyelids, think about whether or not you had new nail polish applied the day before and, if you remove your nail polish, re-apply it and keep your hands away from your eyelids for the first eight hours and I’ll bet that that rash doesn’t come back.
