Q. What can the red spots on back of hands that resemble bruising be?
Hi doctor,
There are red spots on the back of my hands, close to the thumbs. I do not feel any itching, pain or any other unusual conditions. It is just redness. It is present under the skin and looks like bruising. I do not know if it is caused by sun exposure or something else. I first noticed it three months back. At present I am taking Vitamin B complex tablet and vitamin C tablet. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I have examined your photographs (attachments removed to protect patient identity) and your history details.
- From deeper observation, this seems to have been due to coming in contact with some irritant substance which in the presence of ultraviolet radiation from sun has caused this picture.
- Most of the patients of this type in my clinic respond very well to the following steps.
- Keep the area clean, wash frequently, and keep it covered if possible.
- Use a combination of antibiotic and steroid cream like Flutibact (Fluticasone).
- Anti-allergics like Levocetirizine should be used to resolve the lesions faster.
- Observe for any symptoms or change in extent and color.
- It might take a week or so for recovery but the cause for the same needs to be identified by observation and then eliminated from environment at home or work.
