Small Red, Itchy, Bumpy Spots Turning Into Freckles Between Fingers, Burn Kind Of Round Mark On Wrist. History Of Going On Sunbed. Suggest
Hi,
About 10 days ago i went on sunbeds and 2 days after it I started to get these red small spots on my right hand between my thumb ans index finger. They were very itchy and red as well as being elevated.
Ive been puttin some lotion and over the counter cream on it, the itchiness has gone and elevation is slightly better. However it seems that they are turning into small brown spots like freckles. Ive also recently got a few of these spots on my left hamd in the same place.
And on top of my right wrist i have what looks like a burn which is about the same size az a £2 coin.
Could you please help me and let me know what it may be and what I should do?

Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. Small red itchy bumpy spots between fingers and thumb and also spreading to other hand probably to be Scabies. Scabies is caused by mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. It is caused by closed intimate contact with persons with Scabies. Permethrin cream and Ivermectin tablets can be used to treat scabies. Please avoid close contact and use of your personal items like towels brush etc.. by other persons. For further evaluation please consult Dermatologist.
Take care.
