How Can A Rash On The Back Of The Hand Be Treated?
Looks like pityriasis rosea
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
This looks like Pityriasis rosea.
You will require a dermatology consult.
Usually, a doctor may make a diagnosis of pityriasis rosea solely on the basis of its appearance, particularly the onset of the distinct large herald patch and the symmetrical Christmas tree presentation. Also, the herald patch tends to have a fine scale with a definite border, the so-called "collarette." To rule out other types of skin disorders, a physician may scrape the skin and examine the scales under the microscope to detect fungus infection that could mimic pityriasis rosea.
Pityriasis rosea usually requires no treatment and resolves spontaneously. Treatment is not necessary if the rash does not cause significant symptoms. Typically, pityriasis rosea will usually clear on its own within six to nine weeks without medical intervention.
Hope I have answered your query.
