Does anyone else get a rash on the lower part of their fingers after skiing? It almost looks like poison ivy but doesn't weep. I've been trying to figure out what's causing it and can't seem to pinpoint the cause but it's only my middle and ring fingers that get it and it's right above the knuckle. I do try to grip the handle in roughly that area so I'm wondering if the circulation is getting cut off and it's killing the skin (maybe poor ergonomics on the handle?). I originally thought that my kevlar gloves were causing an allergic reaction but I recently replaced my gloves and still get the problem in the exact same spots.
It's not real painful doing normal activities but squeezing something or pushing on that area is slightly uncomfortable. It always itches a few hours after skiing too and hurts the worst the next morning.
It's hard to see much from a picture but it looks a lot like I was wearing a fat ring that chaffed the skin or something. Usually after about 3-4 weeks, the skin will start to turn slightly brown and then it will start to peel off.
