Question : I am starting to get small red bloth's on my hands- it generally goes away as fast as it comes. Today it was a few streaks on my left hand. I have bad anxiety so it is a bit bothersome

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed urticaria. It is a very common allergic reaction and can be easily treated with mild topical steroid cream such as cortisone.
Don't worry and if possible upload a photograph of the involved area.
This will help me in giving a closer diagnosis and better way of management.
Waiting for your response.
Thank you

It looks like contact dermatitis, a type of allergy.
