Asked by Female, 32 · 3 days ago

Your asthma and dry, cracked skin are linked through a common allergic tendency called atopy. While treated differently, they are highly manageable. For your asthma, daily inhaled corticosteroids (like fluticasone) keep your airways clear. For your fingers, prescription topical corticosteroids (like triamcinolone ointment) or topical calcineurin inhibitors (like tacrolimus) will heal the skin. Additionally, frequent use of thick, fragrance-free emollients (like petrolatum-based ointments) is essential to lock in moisture. For severe cases, systemic biologic medications like dupilumab can target both conditions simultaneously. Please consult your doctor to find the safest combination for you.
