Is it possible for you to get pimples on your hand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but pustules=yes: The glands within the skin of the hand differ from those involved with pimples. However, you have various hair follicles & sweat glands that can & do occasionally become infected by skin germs & may have a similar appearance. There are also other skin conditions that may look similar.
