[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 340056, member: 1024"] What kind of cortisone cream are you using? Over the counter? May not be strong enough. I had terrible, terrible, horrible excema on my....er, um, well.....under my bra, on the sides. It lasted for two years. Cracked, open and miserable. Finally, after many different creams, it cleared up, but I have to wear a bra even at night. So, keeping your hand covered with a cotton glove might help, at least at night, so that sheets and things aren't irritating it and you are less likely to scratch it open while sleeping. I don't wear my original wedding rings anymore, because they caused the same problem. Doctor gave me a stronger, prescription strength cortisone cream with an anti-fungal medication. That cleared it up...but it moves around. Currently, I'm having an issue on my neck. I use Sarna most of the time. It's a lotion that has cortisone in it. You can pick it up at a drug store, but I'd go to the dermatologist or doctor and have them look at it first. You probably need stronger cortisone with an anti-fungal, but a doctor should diagnosis that. Aveeno soap is good. They make bars and wash, so try that in the meantime. Wear your ring around your neck on a necklace for now. [/QUOTE]
