Rash on Hands
I recently was worried about bumps on my genitals and so I've been washing my hands constantly to help prevent any further bumps. I have been to the std clinic and have since been tested negative and were told the bumps were a common thing in males to not worry about it. I still continue to wash my hands a lot during the day. I noticed a quarter sized rash on the top portion of my hands. The rash is red and sometimes itchy but is in the exact same spot on both hands. It's been there for a little more than a week. Two days ago I started putting a cream on them to help go away. I noticed another area near my pinky where it's beginning to turn red. Should I be concerned or do you think it may be from washing my hands too much? It looks like the cream is helping the redness go away so I'm hoping it is nothing. I've shown a few people and they say it could be from dry skin?? I'm just paranoid these days!
