Hello Doctor, this is the current situation of my dad. He has got a kind of skin disease which has spread in his hands and fingers which according to different dermatologists it can be psoriasis, eczema, or dermatitis. The symptoms are as the following: water blisters, very itchy skin, scaly and swollen fingers, skin that bleeds, cracks, is painful, red and crusty. Most of the doctors ask him if he uses detergents or solvents frequently which is a clear "no! the doctors have prescribed him lots of ointments such as lippu ointment, verdura intense moisturizing lotion, dermalibourrepairing cream, dermovate,777 oil which has to apply and place his hands in the sun for 5 minutes, psorolina medicated bathing bar to wash his hands, bioderma,beclomin ointment, candiderma ointment and finally anti bio tics pills. None have been helpful and effective. My dad is still suffering and it's becoming really painful. This has been the case for 4 years, sometimes the disease calms down and go away but then it comes back. I really need the proper and right information about that disease and its cure. Thanking you in advance.
