Athlete's Foot? Crazy I know but can happen......
Hi Indea88
I just read your post and again admire you for the 6 years with RSD. In August it will be 6 years for me also with this burning RSD. Anyway, the rash you are describing sounds like what I had 2 years ago. Since I have eczema (mainly on my hands) I thought it was that and continued to treat it with the cream the doc order for that. Come to find out I had athlete's foot on my right hand!!
The cream I'd been put on (mainly hydrocortisone) spread the athlete's foot. Mine started on my pinky also then spread to the rest of my hand. It was itchy, red, swollen, scaley, and everything you described.
Just a thought--maybe it's athlete's foot. Mine was dx by a derm doc by taking some of the skin cell and viewing through the microscope. Only took 10 minutes. Treatment consisted of another cream, Keteconozole.
Maybe just something to think of. Here's to getting in to seeing one of those docs though!

I had stage 2, I was holding my own, and I blocked out the rsd part. Refused Ketamine, was afraid of the side effects.
In July of last year I started with a rash/itching on my left inner ring finger, the Gp tx me for lice! Ive been to two Derms, and the Gp. Not one treatment has helped, cotisone cream, salicylic acid cream, Nothing".....I have an upper trunk/neck injury.I have had the redness on my neck and chest,my inner arms, but this is on my hands, worse then ever now. It literally looks like psoriasis, the key I think is nothing helps, only getting worse.
I am miserable, my hands itch, swell and I'm hiding them in public, it looks contagious and people look and think "oh what is that" I have an appointment next week for my neurologist and I think I know its progressed. This is worse then the pain, Ive gotten used to the pain, now this.
Really depressed and sick of this monkey on my back
Add the fact that none one has heard of it, frustrates me even more
