hi hand becoming white indicates it is due to xerosis of skin.it will be present through the body.orange blotches indicates purpura.sometimes more cold causes this orange blotches.daily application of moisteriser and application of flucort cream on the orange blotches and use of cetaphil cleansing lotion for bath and use of maxepa tablet daily once can cure the condition
