A member asked:

I have been diagnosed with dermatitis on my face and have been given protopic. i now have small patches of dry skin on fingers. is it linked?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be proper to discuss it with the doctor treating you for dermatitis.
