Red spots on back of hand
by helloplz, Sep 16, 2009 07:06PM
Randomly during school i noticed i had some red spots on my right hand inbetween my index finger knuckle and my thumb knuckle. There's a lot of small little dark red spots that appear on the surface of my skin, but there is no bump/itch/swelling at all. The next day it there were a few more showing on my middle finger and i found some on my left hand inbetween the index finger knuckle and thumb knuckle. Does anyone know what this is? And how to fix it?

I cannot confirm anything without examination but it can be due to sweat dermatitis, dermatitis, contact dermatitis or hives. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. You can take some OTC oral antihistamine medications like Benadryl or Claritin and see if it helps.
If the symptoms persist then a dermatologist’s evaluation is needed as steroids may need to be prescribed.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts. Kind regards.
