palm). Is it an allergy ? A kind of fluid being formed (like boils, smaller than the size of mustard) intially on fingertips/fingerends (on the palm side). I am suffering from this disease since more than a decade. None of the doctors have ever confirmed the name of disease. I have gone through variety of allergy tests, pathological test etc. and they all have confirmed that this is not Psoriasis but some what from that family disease. I feel quickly vulenerable when I use / get in touch with detergents, certain vegetables/fruits like Brinjal, tomato, onion, garlic, lemon (all citrus fruits), while I keep my hands wet more time, Fish (esp Prawns), Pickles etc. Protracted treatment in Allopathic/Ayurvedic & Homeopathic Medicines proved no good. But an external Ointment (Mfd. in India) named Diplene*AF cream (with composition of clobetasol Propionate USP and chlorocresol IP (as preservative) is a good relief for immediate relief. Today,this has started to my wife (Married 2002). Pl. help us to fight this

Allergies are not contagious and therefore cannot be transmitted to another individual. If it is the same thing that your wife has now then it is some sort of communicable disease/infection. You need to go back to the doctor and request a culture to be preformed. This would help to determine what it is. This really needs to be properly diagnosed so that it will not continue to infect others.

One other thing is that you and your wife could be coming in contact with some sort of caustic substance but you need to rule out infection first.
