Swelling of thumb
My mother is suffering from pain in thumb around the cuticle area. People think it is due to soap allergy. She has tried applying ghee with turmeric but it has not helped much. She is now taking calcium pills along with novaswift plus. Could someone let me know what the problem could be and what is the best remedy please

Yes soap allergy which we call contact dermatitis is possible , but pain signifies infection. Please call me or send photos using online consult option for proper examination diagnosis and treatment advice.
