A member asked:

Are there any skin transferable diseases that cause a wrist rash?

Probably not: You probably have a contact dermatitis from your watch band or some wrist jewelry would be my guess. Let your doc take a look at it and see if they can help.

WRIST RASH: One common transferable disease that can occur on the wrist is a ringworm (fungal) infection. Are you around any cats or dogs? Another can be impetigo. Do you wrestle? See a dermatologist if it doesn't disappear in a few days. Without actually seeing your rash it's impossible to k now.
