My husband as a very severe rash on his hand and wrist. It is very lumpy, itchy and some of the rash has puss spots. His wrist is very swollen. He as seen the doctor twice already and he was given steroid cream and zeroderm cream. Last week he was given antibiotics by the on call doctor as it was quite painful and he said it was infected. It does not seem to be getting better , we are waiting for an appointment with a dermatologist but that could be weeks.  Should he go back to the doctors again.? Should we try to see someone one privately?
Hi, First we should find out the reason of having this lesion. It might be due handling some chemicals or washing hands with changed soap. It also depends upon type of his work, handling with some allergic materials. At present his lesion seems infected and so one course of antibiotic again may be required. Consult your doctor and get examined. After consulting dermatologist get it diagnosed properly and then go for treatment accordingly. Ok and take care.
