|

I think there are a mixture of conditions here, and some may well have the eczema as described, but some may be experienceing a different condition.
I believe mine is caused in a similar way to Omega who posted a reply back a while. I have the tiny itchy spots mainly on my index finger nuckle though they are now appearing in my other fingers as my condition worsens. I bite them and a milky white substance seeps out, and eventually brown flaky skin forms which eventually peels off to leave nice smooth skin.
I have just returned from the doctor after trying to pursuade him that my recent diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis is really gout. My uric acid levels are only high to normal, but this has been building up undiagnosed for around 15 years, getting gradually worse until attacks are now quite frequent.
I believe these spots are a lesser form of tofi which some gout sufferers get to the extreme, and is the body depositing these uric acid crystals. I now remember I had this condition on my big toe originally but like many assumed it was a fungal infection.
If any of you are getting repeated unexplained joint strains which are happening quite often (without remembering what may have caused it), I would suggest that it would not hurt to look into the possibilities of gout or arthritis. I always assumed my wrist pains were due to joint weakness and strains until the shoulder started up. |
