Question 1

dark rough patches on my hands?

Accepted Answer

ROUGH PATCHES HANDS: Dark rough patches on hands can be a result of many things. Various strong soaps can do it. Laundry detergents are other things that you may have to change. What kind of work do you do? Do you wear gloves?
Do your patches itch? You may have an allergy to many things you are exposed to. Paints and sprays and lubricants and kerosene can be the cause. Do see a dermatologist. Do you have psoriasis?

Question 2

my friend is developing rough and dark patches over only his middle finger knuckles on both hands . not painful . what could be the possible cause . ?

Accepted Answer

Activity related: Most likely overexertion from long hours on computer. Stiff? Itchy? Could also be dryness/eczema. Tried cortisone cream? Tried moisturizer? Other thoughts; fungal skin infection? See your famdoc if curious.

Question 3

what are the rough dark brown spots appearing on my hands and feet?

Accepted Answer

Keratosis?: These may represent stucco keratosis which is localized thickening of skin simi, ar to barnacles on a boat. Soak and use peeling cream with urea or lac 5. This will remove surface and improve appearance. If this disturbs you dermatologist can diagnose and remove ith minor procedure.

Question 4

i have developed a darker brown patch of skin on my hand and not sure if its anything to be worried about. at a closer look it has very small dots and red lines (almost vein like). please advise ?

Accepted Answer

: A common problem and nothing to worry about .
Could be a form of Purpura( bruising ) which slowly resolves spontaneously

Question 5

the skin on the back of my hands turns red and hurts when ever it is exposed to cold. it becomes dark and rough and burns when i apply any moisturizer?

Accepted Answer

Common: This is common and wearing gloves can help. There is a condition known as Raynaud's syndrome in which the blood vessels react excessively to the clod but it does not usually cause the skin changes you describe. Pure lanolin is usually very effective and less irritating for the chapping. Hope this helps.

Question 7

callused hands, masturbate..have rough red skin on penis..now after sex, scabbing and painful patches..should i worry...no fever, or other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Try a lubricant: There are many ointments, gels, etc. Some are sold specifically for sex. Vaseline will do. There are lubricated condoms, too..

Question 8

have callused hands.masterbate. rough red dot patches on penis..now scabbing and painful after rough sex.. no fever or other symptoms...std?

Accepted Answer

Seriously?: If you are self abusing rather than self- pleasing, and your vice of choice is physically abusive sex play, where do you think the sores come from? Sounds like you've self-diagnosed the problem. Yes, they could be an std, but i'd put money on improved symptoms (and pleasure) with a couple of dollars spent on a good, water-based lubricant. If the abuse stops, but symptoms continue, see your doc.

Question 9

dark skin patch on index finger joint of both hands & mild pain. also pain in right hand thumb base. no injury. i use phone a lot and deficit in vit d?

Accepted Answer

Joint pain: The patch if new and persisting, you should see a doc. Sometimes joint pains of hands could be from too much texting. Pain is not a symptom of vitamin d def.

Question 10

there is patch of dark brown skin.around my wrist what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Wrist patch: Brown spots can because by many different things. One of those is sun damage but at 26 i would not expect that to happen. It could be that you spilled some lime juice on your arm and then got in the sun! i named a condition called margarita nose in which this happened as a transverse line across the nose which was hyperpigmented or darkened.
