Author SuziKatz says: I’m sitting here typing with my left hand as my right hand has ointment, gauze and tape on each finger; also soaking in Epsom salt. After cleaning so vigorously in January, the fingers on my right hand (RH) began to swell. I just figured it was same as usual when I clean like that. 1st of February they became slightly tender but nothing to prevent me from using them. Monday a few spots appeared on 1 finger, skin colored but like a scab but not…hard to describe. Then another one next day. It doesn’t hurt at all and I feel fine…no fever, etc. Anyway, my in-home nurse/doctor DH is treating me and I’m not allowed to use my RH. He researched last night fearing the worse. We think it could be from overuse (lots of scrubbing) along with the cleaning product I used. I can use my mouse but typing takes so long. I’ll be going to the REAL doctor Monday. My comments will be cut/paste. Feb 15, 2014 Leave a comment: Join this group
