in between my fingers! Flaking and itching
i cannot wear my rings

i think it was triggered when i started using a peel pad for my face (acids?)
since then (july) i have tried to moisturise it every day, three times a day with some hand cream but nothing.
two weeks a go the pharmacist gave me some barrier cream (apex something: rubbish and sticky i should have got some sudo ream instead!) and some hydrocortisone
Things have not improved.

any ideas what else to do? (I dont want to keep using hydrocortisone for too long, i did 10 days and very little ephemeral improvement)

edited to add: i will keep using the peel pad but im planning to wear gloves. I invested in a large expensive box and i cam see it improves my face so dont want to stop. Will buy a different brand next time

Could it be fungal?
