Spotted back of the hand can be very disturbing to representatives of either sex. After all, such a phenomenon not only looks unaesthetic, but it is also quite likely a danger to other parts of the body, since rashes can soon form on the face, neck, legs, etc. Therefore, if the back of the hand suddenly becomes stained, blisters, etc., you should immediately seek help from a dermatologist.
Possible causes of rashes on the hands
1. If the spots on the back of the hand arose in the fair sex, then you should think about the hormonal state of the woman. After all, even a slight imbalance can lead to a rash on the hands, as well as in other parts of the body. As a rule, at the same time, the general condition and well-being of a person almost never changes for the worse. The only sign that a hormonal disorder can give out is a bad mood. Often it gets much worse after a woman discoversthat her back of her hand was completely covered with a rash, small blisters, etc. It is worth noting that such an imbalance is often associated with pregnancy, breastfeeding or childbirth. By the way, for some representatives of the fair sex, spots on the hands can disappear immediately after the birth of the baby, while for others, on the contrary, they appear.
2. The back of the hand may become covered with a rash and spots due to emotional overstrain. This phenomenon is again characteristic of women more than men. Often this occurs in the period after childbirth or during premenstrual syndrome. In such situations, the representatives of the weaker sex are annoyed by everything, and the main reaction is discontent, crying, hysteria and screaming. As a result of regular stress, spots on the arms, legs and other parts of the body may well appear.
3. The reddened back of the hand, the photo of which can be seen in this article, is very often associated with malnutrition or bad habits. At the same time, you can get rid of such a problem only by quitting smoking, alcoholic beverages, as well as too fatty, sweet, spicy and fried foods. As a rule, many of those who have gone on a diet and got rid of bad habits, after a short period of time, will notice an improved skin condition on their hands.
4. Dermatitis. Such a phenomenon as spots and rashes on the back of the palms can be formed as a result of exposure to any allergen. This may be contact with household chemicals, and hygiene products.(creams, lotions, soaps, gels, etc.), and spring flowering, etc. As you know, an allergic reaction to an irritant is accompanied not only by spots on the hands, but also by symptoms such as regular sneezing, tearing, asthma attacks, etc..
5. Reddening of the back of the palms may occur due to banal weathering or slight frostbite. Often this occurs in children after walking in the cold without mittens. In this case, you can get rid of the "chicks" yourself, without going to the doctor.
6. If a person notices that his hands (or rather the backs of his hands) are covered with dark brown spots, then there may be several reasons for this:
- genetic (most often found in descendants of black people);
- due to a long stay in the hot sun (pigmentation);
- Addison's disease associated with dysfunction of the adrenal glands;
- colon or stomach cancer (spots on the back of the palms of cancer patients develop much faster than other people);
- taking certain medications (oral contraceptives, hormones, insulin, etc.);
- diseases of the liver and biliary tract;
- overweight;
- early diabetes.
7. Also, rashes and spots on the hands can appear due to fungal infections, scabies, lichen, etc.
