Question 1

baby has red linear marks on palm of hand and red thread like mark around thumb just appeared?

Accepted Answer

Lots of options: History would be important in terms of understanding what might be the cause. Two year olds pretty much need to be constantly monitored so someone should have that information.  If no one was supervising, then that supports the need for this child to be seen and evaluated.
No common pathology other than trauma comes to mind-and need for urgent care

Question 3

i have developed this rash on my hand, on the outside of my hand, by my thumb and index finger.  it started itching, bumps and the area is red.

Accepted Answer

May need an exam: Rashes are quite hard to describe and diagnose in words. Hand or finger bumps that itch without pustules or oozing, are more likely eczema or an allergy to something, rather than an infection. Hydrocortisone cream helps eczema rashes and also helps allergic rashes. Tinea (ringworm) fungus can occur on hands, and would need Lotrimin (clotrimazole) or another antifungal. A doctor can check the rash.
