I have a rash on my habd

[kfillmore]

I have a rash on my hand that will NOT go away. I have had it before but it would go away quickly. I also would know what caused it (wearing a yellow rubber glove or using Palmolive dish soap. Now I don't know why I have it or how to get rid of it.

It is eczema, I think. It is not like what I some times get on my arms which is dry. THIS is VERY VERY VERY itchy. It looks as if each pour has sort of yellow goo in them, Sometimes it oozes (sorry, gross). I have tried calendula, silver gel and tea tree oil. I did have a chinese dr. say he thought it might have a fungus mixed in and that why I can't get rid of it. I am not so sure but I have been using tea tree. I don;t know what to do. I don't have insurance so I am reluctant to do to a dermatologist becasue I think I will probably be disappointed.

ANY ideas or experience?

I'm very prone to allergic skin reactions and I found that just simple calamine lotion really works best for me. I tried all sorts of other stuff including tea tree oil (which it turns out I am really allergic to) but it seems that simple calamine is best. Of course everyone is different and you might want to see a doctor to make sure it isn't an allergic reaction that has gotten infected.
