Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dots on arms and fingers which is very common due to blockage of sebaceous glands and sometimes can also occur due to allergic reaction.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to keep this area clean and dry and apply vitamin C serum at night. You should avoid touching or pricking rashes. Apply ice pack on rashes 2-3 times a day. If condition doesn't get better then consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor will examine physically along with blood test and sample for lab test and may prescribe immunosuppressants, antibiotics like clindamycin along with anti inflammatory medications.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
