Wondering if anyone else has this problem? I use public transport everyday (tube) and often cannot get a seat which means holding on to the rail/bar thing. Without fail if I do that and cannot quickly enough wash my hands afterwards I get a skin infection which takes ages to go, it's particularly in the bends of the fingers and the skin between thumb and first finger, the skin cracks and spreads out in a circle/fissures - I use a Boots fungal skin cream which does treat it but I wondered if there was something I could add to my diet? It's so bloody annoying, I can feel it 'starting' because my skin tingles. I have a baby so don't want to touch him too much with this infection thing (although don't actually know if it's contagious from skin to skin).
I've caught it on other metros like Dubai and buses so it's not just London. Other than that I have great immunity to general coughs and colds (rarely ill and never had flu etc ) so v lucky in that regard.
Maybe I should give in and wear plastic gloves?!
