Palmar cyst: This could be a foreign body reaction, an infection or other issue. If it does not resolve or gets worse, it's off to the dermatologist.

Question 2

Apicture would: Help, but it could be a foreign object, a ligamentous cyst, or beginning of dupuytren contracture.

Question 3

i have a dime size spot in the palm of my left hand..sore if i press down on itwhat could it be?

Accepted Answer

: More info would be needed along with pics. If there is sig soreness, you must consider an infection. see dermatologist for evaluation and possible treatment

Question 4

i got a pink and a bit sore on both of my hand palm, mostly when i use water on it, what could it be? over using it? how can i reduce the swelling?

Accepted Answer

Irritant: Too much hand washing irritates the skin .  Try soap like dove and avoid scented and anti-bacterial ones.  Wash hands only when necessary and the apply a moisturizer immediately after and see it this helps.   (wearing non-latex gloves can only reduce water contact).

Question 5

hi i have a lump about the size of the palm of your hand that lodges between my shoulder blade area it can move if manipulated till ,painful tender?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: That's a pretty good sized lump on your back.  I would recommend getting it seen by a doctor - impossible to really say what it is, but it DOES need to be seen to make sure it is not anything serious.  Sometimes cysts or lipomas can appear on the back, but can only make that call after a proper exam.

Question 6

i fell pretty hard on the palm of hand on halloween. i have a nice scar but the spot is still very tender and i can't bear full weight. what is wrong?

Accepted Answer

Xray: You may have a fracture.  See your physician for evaluation and xray.

Question 7

i have red spots on my palm. they itch anf are sore. what is it? no where but my palms of hands

Accepted Answer

: Either insect bites or contact dermatitis. Did you do something in the garden with your bare hands in the previous 24 hours? You can apply Lidocaine 5% ointment (OTC) as needed. Later, if you have same lesions on your feet and mouth, you may be have a viral syndrome.

Question 8

i have a rash on the palms of my hands for about 9 months now.  it feels like something eating my skin and leaves them cracked sore and dry.?

Accepted Answer

Dermatologist helps: Dry, cracked skin on the palms can be eczema or an allergy to something (gloves, tools, creams, etc.), plus maybe yeast or fungus growth in addition to eczema. The over-the-counter Hydrocortisone is usually not strong enough for palm eczema, since the palm is thicker skin. A patient can see a primary care doctor for treatment, though the doctor may the patient refer to a dermatologist.

Question 9

my hand and wrist have a swelling and i feel a burning in my palm. my knuckles also ache and it's tender to the touch. it stiffens?

Accepted Answer

See MD: I would recommend with any joint swelling, that you see an MD for a good exam and some bloodwork to rule out anything autoimmune, infectious, or inflammatory.

Question 10

hi i have a rash that moves from 1 part of my body to the next it's red blochy patches that are very very itchy and sore even the palms of my hands?

Accepted Answer

Rash: A rash that jumps around sounds like hives or urticaria. It is often difficult to identify the cause. See your doctor for a firm diagnosis, any investigations and management required.  All the best.
