Greetings. Based on what you just narrated - I don't think you have a skin infection. Rather you have contact eczema of the finger / hands which usually occurs and gets worse on contact with irritants like soap / detergent. Avoid contact with triggering agents, wear protective rubber gloves, see a qualified dermatologist near you. Warm regards.
