Patient's question:
Peeling of the skin and frequent itching, with small blisters between the fingers. When the blisters are squeezed, a clear liquid-like substance flows out. My best friend said this is a fungal infection. What are the types of skin fungal infections?Doctor's answer:
Skin fungal infections have many manifestations, such as common conditions like eczema, tinea corporis, tinea pedis, and tinea manuum, among others. Pustules on the hands and feet are also a symptom of fungal infection. Skin diseases caused by fungal infections are particularly prone to recurring, and many conditions share similar symptoms. To determine which specific disease is caused by fungal infection, it is necessary to visit a dermatology department for testing. Based on your description of the symptoms, it is likely that you are experiencing tinea manuum, a fungal infection. Applying ointment to the affected area can help alleviate the condition.
