Question 3

theres small tiny red bumps on my hand. only on the back side of my hand not on any other skin. is it possible that hand soap caused it? i accidentally used a hand soap as a hand sanitizer without water for two days. but only one hand has, why?

Accepted Answer

: If there's no itching an allergic reaction or contact dermatitis isn't likely but still possible. I would expect both hands to have an itchy rash with an allergic reaction. It could be a primary irritation eruption from harsh detergent and/or vigorous rubbing of that hand. You could try applying a mild corticosteroid ointment. See your physician or a dermatologist as needed.

Stop flaxseed: This may be coincidental although it is possible that you may be allergic to flaxseed.  If the problem continues after 10 days off of flaxseed, it is unlikely to be related to it.  The sores may be from an infection or something more serious. See your doctor soon.
