Hi Terri,
Thanks for your reply! I do have dyshidrotic eczema on my hands/fingers; it was a lot worse when I was a kid, but it’s still active most of the time. Would those water bumps be considered intact skin?
And in terms of whitlow, if it were to occur (just hypothetically, it doesn’t sound like I was at much risk here), would it just be kept to my hands and not be a transmission risk unless I had active hand lesions?
Thank you very much for your time.
Best,
