I tried antifungal cream, and they felt better almost immediately. After a few days, my fingers looked completely normal.

However, it can also be caused by hypothyroid or diabetes, with hypothyroid being the most common cause. Have you noticed any significant weight changes or other changes that might suggest either of these problems? You may want to have blood tests done just in case. I had mine tested, and my levels were fine.
Yes I took an IV antibiotic (penicillin) just cause I was positive to be a strep carrier (and it could affect my baby, doctors told me it's common during pregnancy). Do you think that is what caused it? I gave birth twice and each time they put me on that.
