Dry, Red Area Over Hand, Middle Finger, Knuckles, Used Lotion, Spreading To Index, Knuckles
Dear Doctor, I hadn t really noticed until someone asked me did I hurt my hand . It started with my left hand, middle finger knuckle. The skin on the knuckle is very dry, and dark reddish. It almost looks like a scab on that knuckle. I started putting more lotion on my hands. Now Im noticing my index finger is beginning to look a little darker around the knuckle too. Should I be worried?

Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
If there is skin tightening along with darkening then there are chances of it being a condition can Scleroderma.
You may have to be examined by a dermatologist to ascertain the fact.
Do apply cream called Melanorm twice daily meanwhile.
