Hi, I have had diabetes for just over a year. Apart from depression the only problem I seem to be having is a repeated skin infection on the top side of both hands. I get what look like tiny blisters that then become weeping sores. It will get worse over a couple of weeks and then disappear only to Re-occur a few weeks later. My doctor has tried various topical creams and my hand hygiene is almost clinical in an attempt to stop it but nothing worked.
After an appointment for my feet to be checked I was told I had athletes foot. I got some Lamycl once and applied. Once finished I rubbed my hands as though washing as instructed and the next day this hand infection was almost gone. After 48 hours it was no more and 2 months later. I told my doctor about this but he dismissed it as coincidental and that "tinea pedis (the fungus) can not occur on the hands"
Has anybody else suffered these hand skin infections? What treatment was successful?
