My friend is developing rough and dark patches over only his middle finger knuckles on both hands . not painful . what could be the possible cause . ?

Activity related: Most likely overexertion from long hours on computer. Stiff? Itchy? Could also be dryness/eczema. Tried cortisone cream? Tried moisturizer? Other thoughts; fungal skin infection? See your famdoc if curious.
