Brown Patches On The Hand. What Is It?
Seemingly overnight, both of my hands have developed brown patches of spots that have formed between my thumb and index finger . They are not raised not itchy. I haven t changed any diet or environmental factors. It is going on a week now, and I m getting concerned. I am a 25 year old female (no smoking , drinking, or sun exposure).

Hi,
Brown patches on one of your hand would be ecchymoses.
There no other symptoms.
It is due to leak of blood from capillaries in the skin.
The disease is called purpura.
There are many causes.
In you case, it may be local trauma.
You do not worry.
Consult dermatologist.
Have perfect diagnosis ,and there after proper treatment...ok
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
