Question 1

i have red, itchy, painful spots on palms of hands and soles of feet. what is it?

Accepted Answer

It could be -: Stress related, eczema, blood vessel inflammation, infection etc. Go see your dr for confirmation. Take care !

Question 2

red spots on palms of hands and feet. not itchy or sore but suffer from dryness?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician.  Causes include a wide variety of disorders, e.g, Syphilis, Typhus. mercury poisoning, entero-viral infection, endocarditis etc. It would be prudent to consult your doctor.

Question 3

i have red spots on palms of hands under skin. hands feel warm & tight; skin peeling slightly.  no fever or itching. some type of dermatitis?

Accepted Answer

Red spots on palms: Some of the causes of red spots on your palms include dyshidrotic eczema (pompholyx), contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, fungal infection, psoriasis, syphilis, and rocky mountain spotted fever, a tick-borne illness that can cause rash on the palms. You really should be evaluated by a doctor.

Question 4

what std causes red and white spots on palms and burning sensation on palms of hands?

Accepted Answer

Probably no STD: Syphilis can cause a skin rash that involves the palms and soles, but unlikely to cause burning; and syphilis is rare in women in your part of the country. Probably this is something other than syphilis or any other STD. But STDs wouldn't be on your mind if you weren't at risk, so get tested. Play it safe and see a doctor for diagnosis and possible treatment. Good luck!

Question 5

can you advise for hand rash similar to syphilis?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor!: If you fear you may have syphilis, you should see a doctor ASAP. The secondary stage of syphilis, when rash develops, can be very dangerous, both for the infected person and his or her sex partners. Don't mess around with it -- get checked ASAP.

Question 6

got a hand job only from a sex worker. was told by doctors this has no risk of std.4 weeks later the head of my penis is very dry especially on the right and peeling. also red spots and tiny circular peeling areas. could it be syphilis? or other std?

Accepted Answer

: Your doctor is right and no STD is a likely cause of the symptoms you describe. You might have balanitis. See a doctor, ideally a urologist or dermatologist. If otherwise at risk for STDs, a blood test for syphilis makes sense.

Question 7

strep throat, prescribed amoxicillin. then red spots on top of hand, rash along both bottom sides of arms. doc says unlikely allergic relation. std?

Accepted Answer

Strep related: There are at least two forms of rash associated with strep. One is related to a toxin released by living strep germs, typically flat, sand papery and rosey. Anther is a hive like eruption (bumps) that can be associated with it. There are a few STD associated rashes, but what you describe is not how they appear.

Question 8

from the past few days ive been noticing dark/black spots on my body that look like pityriasis rosea only theyre dark b/c i am black. my only issue is i have a few on my palm. could it be syphilis? ive noticed after these pantothenic acid pills

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: I think you should Consult a dermatologist as soon as possible as palm involvement can be seen in serious medical diseases including secondary syphilis. Your rash isn't characteristic of pityriasis rosea.

Question 9

i got these small brown spots on palms and feet that developed into fluid filled blisters. now i have a bundle of them on one palm and a few on my feet. the ones on my palms started itching too. what can it be?  can't see my doc till next week

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist: Go directly to a dermatologist for accurate diagnosis and advice as this is not a common skin disorder and most nondermatologists won't be familiar with it. Dyshydrotic eczema is a likely diagnosis and the trigger is often elusive if that's what it is. Seasonal allergies or stress are possible causes and it lasts for weeks. Get effective treatment.

Question 10

i have brown spots on the front of my hands, looks like syphilis but i'm a virgin (no oral and never been kissed) so that can't be. what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Gee whiz: Skin lesions need to be seen to be understood and properly diagnosed.  Syphilis skin problems are usually a manifestation of secondary or tertiary syphislis. See your doctor if you're concerned about the skin lesions.
