Whoa, did you take a picture of MY hand? :s-smilie:

I get that all the time. Are your hands cold right now?

I thought it was just tiny veins....

awwww your so sweet! Thats normal! Everyone has them even I do!
Sometimes you get them when your reallly cold and then you get them when your really warm, it depends on your blood circulation I presume :biggrin:

:hugs: youll be fine :biggrin: if in doubt ask the doc! :biggrin:

ok ok forget what I said now I had my screen tooo dark I lightened it and your right it does look kind of spotty it might be a bad reaction did you use a bad cream or you might have sensitive skin maybe your allergic to something. I suggest you see a doctor to get this sorted :-)

OK yeah, just had a closer look from a different angle. Yours are more concentrated in patches, and not evenly distributed like 'normal' veiny patches.

Get it checked out.

Heat rash, eczema, could be anything

Do you have them on your feet too?

It's prob'ly nothing, see the doc.

Isn't that... ...doesn't that mean you have Syphilis. Guess the obvious answer is, it isn't if you haven't had sex.

looks like a heat rash :s-smilie: though I didn't think you could get it on the palm of your hands... could be an allergy of sorts. If its itchy, go to a doctor =]

no just on my hands. my guess is its something to do with the nerve endings as they are prickly. thought i had a splinter to start off with.

theyre not itchy, just tingly or prickly when i touch them. its deffinately nerve related, the skin seems fine.

Could be hives or a variant of ecszema (I totally spelt that wrong). I used to get stuff like this all the time. Now I get random dried out skin on my fingers. The cold probably doesn't help.

But go to your GP and he/she will probably prescribe you a steriod-based antihistomine cream like Fucibet or something & it will clear up pretty soon, that's if it's not just a heat rash or something. I wouldn't worry, it's probably nothing serious.

Although it is in the right sort of place to be scabies. How has it spread? Are there any sort of little burrow shapes in the red patches? Either way, the GP is your friend on this one. Doesn't really look that much like a scabies rash though.

Did you ever figure out what caused the spots? I think I've got the same thing, and I've gone to my doctor several times. She prescribed steroids which seems to take it away, but she doesn't want to keep putting me on steroids every time it happens. She thinks it's chilblains, but it doesn't itch. I haven't heard about anyone else that gets the tingly feeling that seems to be nerve related. Thanks!
