Suggest Treatment For Spots On The Hand
Question: I have developed spots on my hand which is turning my hand scaley also these spots have started growing and tearing off skin on my hand
Brief Answer:
May be viral infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
There are two main types of scaley warts on the hands .
The type that many people have on their hands starts as a small, flesh-coloured pimple that grows slowly over weeks or months to become a rough, raised lump. They are often called ‘common warts’. If you look closely, you will see that the normal tiny lines of the skin (the lines that are used in fingerprints) do not cross the surface of the wart. You may also be able to see tiny black dots in the wart; these are blood capillaries.
Some warts remain as very small, flat bumps; this type often occurs in clusters on the face, neck and hands. There may be 20 –100 at any one time. In men, they are usually in the beard area, and in women they may occur on the legs
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
