Hi,

The rash is less sensitive, it could be due to Hansen's disease or a non specific rash. I suggest you to kindly get yourself examined by a dermatologist to rule out Hansen's disease.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Siva Subramanian, Dermatologist
