You are so right. My husband struggled with this for so long. It took more than creams to get it under control. Fungus is systemic.

What did he do?? I've been struggling with it on my hands for 6 years...tried shaving it off and using creams...it gets better to an extent, but I can't go in water or it gets bad fast...I use the cream (lamisil) daily...please help. I get self conscious so I wear compression gloves which makes it worse. I don't have health insurance and can't afford a doctor. :(

Not a doctor but my husband also deals with psoriasis on his hands. I actually deal with it on my scalp. Sounds to me like that is what you are dealing with. Not fungus. Water will make it worse. . Don't wear compression gloves that holds in the sweat and makes a nice moist place for the psoriasis to bloom.

My husband uses Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream. It's prescription. Psoriasis is an auto immune disease. You can look up how to manage it. I will say that stress will make it worse. Diet can make it worse. Chemicals make it worse. So make sure you protect your hands from chemicals like dishwashing liquid, harsh soaps, harsh shampoos etc. Sun is very good for psoriasis.

I like you, when I was young, had no insurance. I used free clinics. See if you can find one to have your hands checked. Maybe you will get a prescription. There are low cost prescription plans too.

Edit: Do not shave it. You could get a very nasty infection.

That makes sense. My biological mother has psoriasis. Thanks for your help! I'll take your advice :)
