Could Burning Sensation On Palm Of Hands And Feet With Red Spots Be Due To Allergic Reaction?

Hi, my husband is 50yrs old and his job is physical, he is not overweight, but yesterday afternoon, the palm of his hands and the soles of his feet are burning, today there are some medium sized red spots on his feet. Should he go to the doctors or could this be an allergic reaction?

Thank you

Rhonda

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As he is having burning sensation in the feet and the palm, it may be several reasons.
As his occupation is physical and strenuous if he is using any glove or gum boots that may be reason,
The symptoms are may be due to physical or chemical irritants. By knowing the occupation and environment of the work we can suspect but with this medical history it is just an eczema which will subside by itself.
If the symptoms are worsening and rashes spreading to other parts of the body then you have to consult your doctor.
Thank you.
