What Causes Redness On The Ring Finger Of Right Hand?
Yes, thank you. a couple of days ago I noticed dark redness on my ring finger, right hand, an area of about an inch (oval shape), on top of hand (not palm); no pain, no obvious cause. and tonite a small bump with a lighter colour started to form within the perimeter of the red area. Still no pain. What could it be? Thank you!

Hello,
It could be a local inflammatory reaction.
As first-line management, you can apply low potency steroid creams like betamethasone for symptomatic relief. If the lesion persists, it is better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
