Having a rash due to irritation from one time exposure that lasts for 2

weeks is unusual. Of course, medications that one continues to take can

cause continued rashes. But a good pharmacist could tell you more about

that than could most medical doctors.

I'm surprised a dermatologist just guessed. From the looks of the

photos I would GUESS .. it looks a bit like Chilblains .. and that

could reoccur as long as the hands continue to be exposed to cold

temperatures. Another possibility .. is Raynaud's Syndrome .. which is

cause by a dip in temperature or a rise in stress levels. Nobody knows

why it occurs .. but in the primary stages almost all cases are females

under age 30. This is not a serious problem but it can be a pain ..

there are many ways to relieve the problems IF that is the problem.

I'd first go to a different dermatologist.

Saw it .. that's why I commented as above. I have had Chilblains ..

few soldiers avoid them during a career .. and I've seen photos of hands

of folks who were affected by Raynaud's Syndrome. My advise would be to

use NO Essential Oils .. see a different dermatologist.

Good luck .. and keep smiling. :-)
