Suggest Treatment For Red Splotches On The Left Hand
I have 2 red splotches on left hand that appeared this morning. They do not itch and are not scaly. They are smooth to touch and not creating discharge. Is this contact dermatitis? Both spots are on top of hand, one near base of thumb and other left center of top of hand.

Hello,
It could be a purpuric spot. They are not that much significant and generally, they will settle by itself. If the lesion persists you can consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
