Suggest Treatment For An Itchy Rash On The Hand
hi. I have a rash on the back of my right hand. it is traveling in a single line under the skin and making its own path. i can see the raised line and at various points on the line there are raised red bumps that itch and come to surface and break skin. the line is growing in length and can be described as squigly . thank you for any advice you can lend.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Looks like you have something called as Lichen Striatus, which is a benign and self limiting condition which resolves in 5-6 months on its own.
You can apply moisturizers or mild steroidal creams over it for resolution of the itch. Nonetheless, I recommend you have the rash reviewed by your concerned doctor.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
