Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I suddenly noticed a deep red patch of discolored skin on my right hand, that just suddenly appeared, I did not burn it, or feel as though it got bruised - it s looks like it s under the skin somewhat like if you were overheated and your skin gets red.....it s just a spot the size of a egg. what should I do?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you do not have pain or fever then it is probably just a temporary skin reaction or broken blood vessel. If you have a lot of pain or any fever then you should see a doctor. Also if it does not resolve in a week or so then you should see a doctor also.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
