Hands

Anyone here have red spots on the back and blotchy red on the palms?  I just got diagnosed with STREP and my hands are a mess since then.

It will possibly turn out to be a viral rash and settle.

the rash started before I started taking penicillin.   It looks like head, foot and mouth disease but the doctor ruled that out.
I had shingles, then a few days later, bad sore throat.  Doctor though STREP.  Get results back soon on that.   But the same night I had the sore throat my hands and feet got all blotchy on the palms and little red bumps on the back of the hand.

Hi all.  Seen two doctors   .  Theblotches are on my palms, fingers, soles of feet.   After three days they are looking fainter.  Just wondering what this is?

'Streptococcus viridans' can colonize to the palms and nails from a heart lesion(Janeway lesions in endocarditis). Seadewseadew is very right here.But then the general presentation is with fever. However do consult your doc pronto.

I usually get that when my hands are hot and sweat. Don't know why. Maybe blood pulling to the surface to cool?
