The back of the palm, covered with spots, can greatly disturb representatives of any gender. After all, this phenomenon not only looks unaesthetic, but also quite likely poses a danger to other parts of the body, since rashes can soon form on the face, neck, legs, etc. Therefore, if the back of your palm suddenly becomes stained , blisters, etc., you should immediately seek help from a dermatologist.
Possible causes of rashes on the hands
1. If spots on the back of the hand occurred 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, 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 worsens a lot after a woman discovers that her back of the hand is 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, some women have spots on their hands that can pass immediately after the birth of a baby, while others, on the contrary, appear.
2. The back of your hand may become rash and stained due to emotional overstrain. Again, this phenomenon is more characteristic of women than men. Often this occurs in the postpartum period or during premenstrual syndrome. In such situations, the fairer sex is annoying, and the main reaction is discontent, crying, hysteria and screaming. As a result of regular stresses, spots on the arms, legs and other parts of the body may well appear.
3. The reddened back of the hand, a photo of which can be seen in this article, is often associated with poor nutrition or bad habits. At the same time, you can get rid of such a problem only by quitting smoking, alcoholic drinks, as well as from too fatty, sweet, spicy and fried foods. As a rule, many of those who went on a diet and got rid of bad habits, after a short period of time, necessarily notice an improved skin condition on their hands.
4. Dermatitis. Such a phenomenon as spots and rashes on the back of the palms can form 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 blooms, etc. As you know, an allergic reaction to an irritant is accompanied not only by spots on the hands, but also such symptoms like regular sneezing, lacrimation, asthma attacks, etc.
5. Redness 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 “chicks” on your own, without going to the doctor.
6. If a person notices that his hands (or rather the back of his hands) are covered with dark brown spots, then this may be several reasons:
- genetic (most often found in descendants of black people);
- due to a long stay in the hot sun (pigmentation);
- Addison's disease associated with impaired functioning of the adrenal glands;
- intestinal or stomach cancer (spots on the back of the palms of cancer patients develop much faster than in other people);
- taking certain medications (oral contraceptives, hormones, insulin, etc.);
- diseases of the liver and biliary tract;
- overweight;
- initial stage of diabetes.
7. Also, rashes and spots on the hands may appear due to fungal infections, scabies, lichen, etc.
