What Causes A Recurrent Large Red And White Spot On The Left Hand?

Noticed about eight weeks a spot on my left hand with about I/2 inch area in red with a small white waxy center which itches and burns. Went to doc s pa said it was a keratosis and froze off - three weeks later it is back, only larger in the white area. Doc cannot see until April but PA is will s see me in two days. Needles to say I am concerned as I had Mohs less than a year ago on my leg which was a squamous cell carcinoma. Any guidance you could give me would be much appreciated.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your case history, you are suffering from Eczema rash.

My treatment advice is:
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like Fusiderm-B cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like Levocetirizine twice daily for 7 to 10 days.

If the problem persists, then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
