Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
For about two years, I have had constant problems with the skin on my hands. There are spots on my hands where my skin becomes extremely dry, to the point where it peels and sometimes even cracks and bleeds. However, it regenerates quite quickly, with even deeper wounds healing within three to five days. I have consulted several dermatologists, and here is what I have been able to confirm so far:
Sometimes, when my condition improves and there is no dried or peeled skin on my hands, small red dots become visible just under the skin. One of the doctors mentioned that they look like burst blood vessels. These are visible in one of the attached photos.
Please advise.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
From the pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity), it looks like hyperkeratotic eczema on the palms. It is a type of dermatitis and is not related to any blood vessel issues. The condition may worsen during the winter season. Treatment includes the judicious use of moisturizers, along with a mild potent steroid (Halobetasol) in the case of any erythema.
I hope this helps you.
Thank you.
