Have had this condition a number of years. Affects hands over knuckles and on fingers. Affected areas can be reddened and often the area is circular.  Have had it looked at by 2 doctors. First one said they don't know why it happens but each site can last up to 7 years and then disappears. He gave no treatment.  Some areas do clear up but new areas emerge.  If knocked the area can be painful otherwise is just unsightly. 2nd doctor gave me Betnovate cream which I used for a while (may be not long enough) but without effect. He also did minor surgery to have a sample analysed. I would like to try herbal or other alternative treatment.  Has anyone had success with getting rid of this condition?
