I have noticed for several months now that I often get red blotches and spots on the back of my hands and around the wrist area. I haven't noticed it anywhere else that I can think of.
They are painless, non itchy, non textured, non raised and usually disappear within an hour or two- If I didn't see them I wouldn't even know they were there. When I apply pressure they also vanish, and when I remove the pressure they reappear. They tend to reoccur in the same spots (like between my 3rd and 4 finger on my left hand- just an example) They range in size from pin ***** (longer lasting) to pea sized (shorter lasting). Sometimes after a bowel movement, I will get a really large blotch on my right hand. Some days I get a lot, some days none at all.
It's just really weird, and I don't know if I should just let it slide as something normal or get it checked out. Though usually by the time I get an appt. at the doctors, the marks have disappeared. I have had bowel issue in the past few months that scared me into thinking really serious things were happening, but have had all possible bowel tests and others (Liver, blood sugar, celiac, stds, etc) with nothing unusual turning up.
Does anyone else get these spots?
