Unidentified rash-like bumbs on hands that dont itch?"/

by Quincey, Jul 15, 2009 08:40PM
Hello, 
For about a month now, i've had small circular bumps on my hands and fingers(not my palms). However,they dont itch. They arent inflamed,red,swollen, or anything.They're practically not there. But i have no idea where they came from.I also have the same things on my wrists. They are about the size of a dime(the ones on my wrists). I went to my doctor yesterday, and she didnt clearly explain to me what these were. She basically told me to make sure my hands stay from being dry. But for the wrists, she told me that they could possibly be ringworms.However that didnt sit well with me for the simple fact that they dont have any ringworms symptoms whatsoever.Can someone explain to me what the tiny circular bumps on my hands are, and explain to me what the slightly larger circular bumps on my wrists are. 
SOMEONE HELP ME!! 
Thanks God bless.

Hello,
Without examination,confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but it can be pityriasis rosea or nummular dermatitis.

Pityriasis rosea is a common human skin disease which presents as numerous patches of pink or red oval rash. The rash may be accompanied by low-grade headache, fever, nausea and fatigue and sometimes by itching.

No treatment is usually required. In most patients, the condition lasts only a matter of weeks or months(upto six months).Application of steroid cream may also help.

If the rash persists then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.Other possibilities have to be ruled out then.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
