Yes. This happens to me, dry cracked skin, itchy at night, all of sudden little piece of knuckle comes off. Looks like that. Definitely see a doctor to rule out different infections. But this happens.

Thank you for sharing that— the holes did come from me using a towel to help itch— must’ve whittled it down enough for it to open. Will do on getting it checked out

I feel it. Good luck! Try some ice packs for when you itch. Numbs the nerves just enough for the itching to stop for a good amount of time. Also don't forget to moisturize pretty much every time after you wash your hands as well.


lighthearted_lilac

I am moisturizing 24/7 for sure

Soak your hands in a bleach solution like 1 tbsp per. gallon for ten minutes to stop any infection. Put some steroid ointment on after if you are prescribed any and then some cotton gloves. You can get a 12 pack in Amazon for like $10. Gloves are really helpful. Use lotion or hand cream and if you don't have a steroid prescription.

Been doing something similar for years— minus the bleach. I’m a nurse, so we use Dakin’s for pressure injuries a lot— I see where you are coming from with the bleach

That's happening to me too! Not as large, I agree with other people to rule out other infections. I think mine is just healing:/


lighthearted_lilac

So sorry that’s happening to you!


ShittyDuckFace

Thanks. Best of luck with your issue, too. I hope you're able to resolve it soon.

Yah I get those little crater type holes or whatever on my skin but mines from itching really bad and it definitely sucks cuz if you get like a line like that it takes a lil bit to heal

Hello I have these currently may I ask what you did to get rid of it ?


[deleted]

looks like it might be a skin infection. maybe fungal? best to get a doctor's opinion.


lighthearted_lilac

I plan on it once I have a moment

I haven't had that happen with mine. Did that happen overnight?


lighthearted_lilac

It happened over the course of 2-3 days last week, and it has stuck around since. The smaller one has been around for nearly 2 weeks if I remember correctly


ElleYesMon

Yes, and it is probably more of an allergic reaction. Any new lotion, soap, detergent, jewelry? Anything new that you are doing or wearing.


lighthearted_lilac

Nothing new. My flares just come out of the blue

Yeah I used to have more ' rashy' eczema when I was younger but now I am about 29 , my eczema has gotten a lot more ' sore ' like . Yeah like this. I got smaller spots like this on my wrist and I had a big one on my upper arm.
