Question 1

what could be causing the skin on my hands to get dark spots?

Accepted Answer

Age spots: A person ages, brown spots can appear on their hands. Brown spots, also known as liver spots and solar lentigines, tend to develop on the hands because of too much sun exposure. They are darker patches of sun-damaged skin caused by the overproduction of melanin in these areas. Other factors like genetics may also play a role in the development of these dark spots. For many people, unsightly.

Question 2

i have these dark spots in both of my hands and they itch at times?

Accepted Answer

Dark spots: The most common dark spots on dorsal hands are seborrheic keratosis and lentigines. Seborrheic keratosis can itch. Dark spots on the palms can be erythema multiforme or syphilis or benign nevi. There are many other reasons for itchy dark spots, including contact dermatitis or hand eczema. Melanoma is unlikely if multiple dark spots all look the same, without an "ugly duckling.".

Question 4

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 5

some dark black spots on my fathers hand...hi age is about 48..is it normal to have these things?

Accepted Answer

Hard to tell.: Without seeing these spots, it's impossible to tell.  With age, many people develop spots on their skin.  However, as one ages, the risk for serious skin cancers also increases.  It would be best to have a dermatologist look at the spot.  Good luck.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Dark spots: It is a good thing to see your doctor about the spots.  Also check your whole body for any moles to show him also.

Question 7

i have dark spots on the palm of my hands and feet what can i use to make them go away?

Accepted Answer

Probably Yeast: possibilities of an allergic reaction to the drugs and fungal infections of the palm and soles need to be ruled out. If there is any blister formation on these areas and you have fever as well then viral infections should be investigated. My sincere advice is to consult a dermatologist as without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough.

Question 8

i have noticed dark red spots on the palm of my hands and its itchy?  what possibly could it be?  i had noticed this earlier buy it went away...

Accepted Answer

Could be: A pompholyx, a type of fungus infection. See your doc.

Question 9

i have little red itchy oozing bumbs on both sides of my hands. they are spreading to my fingers. i have dark itchy spots all over my body also. help!

Accepted Answer

Red oozing bumps: You may have hand dermatitis which is a form of excema. It is made worse by washing your hands alot. You need to see a dermatologist to see if I am right and to have it treated with prescriptions creams. I cannot speculate on your other spots, unless you shower alot with a harsh soaop and do not use a moisturizer. You could also have folliculitis if some of the bumps look like pimples.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You are taking the right steps by seeing your primary doctor who can send you to the proper specialist for your problem. Good luck.
