Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a brown discoloration of the skin around my fingertips. What is the reason?
Please advise.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I need some more information.
It will probably be fingertip eczema. I suggest using an intense moisturizing cream applied twice daily to the tips of the fingers. Avoid frequent contact with detergent, and always keep your hands moisturized.
I hope this has helped you.
Please feel free to contact me again in case you have any further queries.
Thank you.
