Hi doctor,
I have developed some brown patches and freckle like spots on my left hand overnight. I went to bed last night with a new light brown freckle on the palm of my hand and woke up this morning to it being darker and there being more freckles and patches. There are a couple of patches on my ring finger and it looks like a stain. The brown spots seem to have become darker over the day and a couple more have appeared. What do you think this could be? As far as I am aware, I have not been exposed to anything. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- These are not freckles according to the duration of appearance (attachment removed to protect patient identity). Freckles do not come overnight.
- There are only two possibilities. One is insect bite reaction and the second one is purpura.
- It is looking like blood collection below skin, which is called as purpura.
- If you feel it is itching, then it could be an insect bite.
- If it is increasing then you should go to GP and get bleeding, clotting time and evaluate everything.
