I recently got my 'hand rot' problem again, but this time I went to see a different doctor. The former one costed a hundered dollars for treatment because it was a skin specialist, so this time, I went to see a simple friendly neighbourhood clinic.
He told me that it was some skin allergy. He asked me if I have any idea what I was allergic to, or if I have touched anything that might have caused it. I have somehow always suspected I was allergic to dust, but I didn't tell the doctor. (I even remember AL remarked: "Allergic to dust?! OMG, every time someone used that excuse during NS, I thought they were making it up!")
The doctor gave me some purple-colored solution to wash my hands in and some cream to apply. He also told me not to always wrap my hand in plaster (because of the adhesive), so from then on, I decided to just wrap my hand in tissue & tape every time I leave home.
This time, my skin problem recovered pretty fast and it costed much less, too. Wee. Guess I'll be careful from now on. I still think my dirty computer mouse might be the cause behind it.
