Q. What can be done for tender and itchy red spots on hands?
Hello doctor, I have red spots on my hands that started about 10 days ago. I also have a couple of spots on my foot. They are mildly tender and itchy. They have gotten worse but not more that 8 to 10. I have no medical history and do not take any medications daily. I had a cut on my finger from opening a metal box a few days before onset.
Hi. I saw your pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There are multiple erythematous (red) plaques and papules (bumps) on palms, sole, and wrist. Few lesions do look like target lesions. With these features, I can list a few possibilities as follows: May I know your age? Is there any similar rash inside the mouth? Did you have a fever before this rash or in the past one month? Have you used any topical cream? Is it the first episode? Did you take any painkillers, Ibuprofen, Diclofenac in the recent past? Do you have any history of eczema? For more information consult a dermatologist online -->
