What Could It Be If Had Red, Itchy Bumps, Growing In Size Behind The Hand?
Hi, I m 15 and I have had a lot of little bumps appear on the back of my right hand. They started out the same color as my skin, so I thought it was just an allergic reaction, but over the course of three days, they have changed color to red, become itchy, and grown in size. Do you know what this is?

Hi,
It may be Irritant contact dermatitis. Consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. Avoid the contact with suspected irritant like soap,detergent.,.etc
Oral steroid in tapering dose,antihistaminics etc may be considered.
Hope this helps.
