For about 8 months, ive had this type of rash on the bottom part of my ring finger, my doc told me in was eczema, biut then i want to my derm the other day and they told me it was fungus. and that was about it. Does anyone know about this, and how i would catch it, and what too do to get rid of it, beacause the cream he gave me is NOT doing anything

You have to give the cream time... It is not going to go away over night, especially since you have had it for 8 months. Give it a few more days and if it still is not helping call your dermatologist and see what he recommends. Good luck

If you had a ring on on that finger, it is probably due to washing your hands with it on. The water gets trapped under the ring and fungus starts to grow. Keep the ring off of the finger until it goes away

THE Best thing ever is to get some "Tea tree oil" from a natural health food store & follow directions. It will kill it.
It's an amazing anti-fungal.
I worked in a health food store for 10 years & saw it do everything including pet ear mites that vets wants to charge over & over to get rid of it.

I would keep my hands clean, apply a none scented dry skin lotion, and then go back to the doctor to let him know that what he prescribed to you is not working
