Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXX,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for the small patch developing near thumb of your left hand.
After analyzing the picture it appears to be due a condition known as "Allergic contact dermatitis". It is a simple allergic process due to contact with multiple kind of contact allergens such as soaps, detergents, dust or rubber and related things. To confirm the same I humbly request you to kindly provide me details of your skin condition.
- Since how long you have this small patch. Is this the first time you have this kind of condition or recurrently have it off and on.
- Any other sites involved or any other skin condition.
- DO you feel any itching over same. If yes then is it- mild/moderate/severe.
- Any hisitry of exposure to dust or soaps or detergents or any related chemical
- Your job profile and do you drive two wheeler or four-wheeler.
Hope to hear soon from your side.
With regards,
