Hello about 8 months ago my fingertips were exposed to battery acid. I washed them thoroughly but since then my fingers peel when they come in contact with anything acidic. It concerns me because this includes when I am intimate with my wife, and now she is starting to itch down there as well. What should I do?
Hello, I can understand your concern for the problem of peeling of skin after exposure to the acidic material. It is quite common to find such kind of thing after exposure to battery acids. I suggest you to meet an expert for the same to get the earliest relief. It could be possible that you might have touched the genital area of your wife with the same hands which touched the battery acid. In your kind of cases I generally prefer to give a mild steroid cream along with a cream containing moisturizing factors. It is quite important to see the peeling of skin to be vanished after the use of this combination. In case if the peeling is still present, then a course of oral steroid might be required. You can consult a dermatologist for the same. All the best.
