A few options: Soaks or compresses using weak solutions of condy's crystals (potassium permanganate), aluminium acetate, or vinegar in water, are applied for 15 minutes four times a day. Hand creams, eg. Dimeticone barrier cream, should be applied liberally and frequently to keep the skin soft.Topical steroids should be applied to the affected areas nightly. They help reduce inflammation and itching.Antibiotics.
