Many painful conditions of a person appear on the skin. Including red spots on the palms indicate the presence of any trouble in the body. To successfully eliminate the skin defect, it is necessary, without delay, to find out the cause of its appearance. You should start the examination with a dermatologist.
Epidemiology
The epidemiology of this disease is ambiguous, for a long time it was considered as purely professional. According to foreign studies, about 30% of adults, mostly developed countries, suffer from allergic contact dermatitis. In addition, according to German scientists, with such problems in medical institutions appeals no more than 40% of the sick. Among children, the prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis is lower, however, it was diagnosed in a fifth of all children and adolescents who sought medical help for dermatitis.
Causes of the red spots on the palms
Rashes on the palms can be provoked by a variety of factors.
Most often, contact dermatitis is manifested. It can be allergic and simple (burns, frostbites, scrapes). The reasons for simple - almost always obvious, with their elimination passes and dermatitis. Allergic arises in the place that is directly in contact with the substance that caused the allergy. For example, with cleaning agents, detergents. This can result in sensitization to cold (cold allergy). Rashes appear immediately after the skin is abruptly cooled on the hands or on the legs. Rarely, an allergic rash on the palms and / or feet can be caused by a nutritional or medicinal allergen. In the pathogenesis of sensitization in these cases, mainly, not antibodies, but T-lymphocytes are involved. Microscopic examination of samples from the lesion site shows large concentrations of lymphocytes and other immune cells that have moved from the bloodstream to the red spots.

Risk factors
Risk factors for the appearance of red spots - nervous overexertion or severe stress, decreased immunity.
These same factors cause relapses of dyshidrotic eczema. It is not a contagious, chronic disease, accompanied by severe itching. Its causes have not yet been clarified, allergic manifestations caused by household chemical products and food products, and hereditary predisposition are supposedly related to them. Dyshidrotic eczema can be observed not only on the skin of the palms and feet, but also on the back side. The majority of those who have consulted about this disease are younger than 40, among them are patients of both sexes. The pathogenesis of dyshidrotic eczema is not really associated with sweating disorders, as previously thought. In a family history, 50% of patients have a predisposition to allergic reactions. Risk factors, besides emotional overstrain, are called high temperature and humidity of air.
Eruptions can be infectious (for example, beginning deprive), viral (herpes), parasitic (scabies). Such a rash, usually first appeared on the palms, quickly enough spreads to other parts of the body. Transmitted when you are in contact with a sick person, fungal infection (lichen), you can get infected from a sick animal. Herpes is ubiquitous, with 90% of the adult population of the planet having antibodies to it.
A bright crimson rash, localized only on the palms or feet - erythrose (Lana's disease). Itching is not typical for this disease. Such rashes should be well known to the patient, since the propensity to them is inherited from close relatives. The palms, as well as the feet, have a branched network of arterial and venous vessels - nature has provided a good blood supply to this part of the body. In the pathogenesis of the disease, a major role is played by hereditary disorders in the vessels that perform the interaction between the venous and arterial systems-anastomoses. Through these blood vessels, when blood pressure increases, it is discharged into the venous bed, if the anastomoses are narrowed or completely impassable, then the discharge of blood is disturbed, the arterioles and capillaries are constantly working in the regime of overloads. This contributes to their constant expansion and appearance of red spots. The disease is quite rare, manifested as from birth, and at a later age under the influence of factors provoking its development. Men and women suffer equally often, in one family the disease is manifested in all or almost all of its members.
Dysfunction of the heart muscle, vegetative-vascular dystonia causes seizures, leading to a decrease in the tone of the vessels and the appearance of dotted red spots on the palms. They do not itch, do not hurt and go away with an attack.
The risk factor for skin infection is diabetes mellitus. Changes in the hormonal background during puberty, during pregnancy, taking hormonal medications can also cause rashes; rapid growth of itching rashes on the palms - a signal for a visit to an oncologist.
Symptoms of the red spots on the palms
Since red patches on the palms can be caused by various causes, then the symptomatology has some differences.
The clinical signs of allergic contact dermatitis are similar to those of the acute stage of eczema. The first signs - the appearance of quite large reddening, later on their background begin to form small multiple bubbles. Fraud and release from the contents, are exudative red spots on the surface of the skin, drying up, they can become covered with scales and crusts. The main focus is located where there was contact with the allergen. Red spots on the palms of the hands are itching, preventing sleep and awake. Sometimes itching precedes the appearance of rashes - itches the palms and there are red spots, as if from combing. Contact allergic dermatitis can be localized on the feet, if it was barefoot to walk around the substance that causes allergies. Since the body is sensitized to the effect of the allergen as a whole, the appearance of secondary foci can occur anywhere in the body, very far from the primary focus. Secondary foci can look like red nodules, vesicles, specks, congestion and swelling. Allergic dermatitis can look like one red itchy spot on the palm (usually at the point of contact with the allergen), single and massive rashes can appear on the back of the hands and feet.
Dyshidrotic eczema in terms of symptoms resembles contact dermatitis. The first signs are the appearance of grouped small, approximately millimetric, deeply located vesicles, sometimes with vesicles. Newly appeared small red spots on the palms of the hands are very itchy. Later - they merge, burst, forming erosive surfaces that peel and crack. This stage is already accompanied by soreness. Localized in 80% of cases on the hands, sometimes on the soles, red spots on the palms and feet itch. First, the skin surfaces between the fingers, the palms and the plantar part of the foot are affected, then the rash can spread to the back surface.
The first signs of erythrosis (Lana disease) - on the palms of the hands appear a significant amount of bright rashes of a rich crimson color. Simultaneously, they appear on the feet, however, they notice them there later. Spots do not differ in soreness and itching. On closer inspection, you can see that the spots are not solid - these are small dots, concentrated very near. Localized such clusters on the fingers and between them, palmar tubercles under the extreme fingers - little finger and large. The border with healthy skin is sharply outlined and located on the lateral surface of the hands and feet. Eruptions in erythrosis are never located outside the hand or foot. This pathology is not characterized by increased sweating on the inner surface of the palms and feet, which is used in differentiating it from similar diseases.
If the hands of the lowered hands turn red and small white spots appear on them, this indicates a problem with the capillary circulation, but special treatment is usually not prescribed. If a person has red palms with white spots forming a marble pattern, then this indicates circulatory disorders.
Finding on the back of the palm of the hand red scaly patches can be assumed the presence of psoriasis, by the way, this disease has a palmar and plantar form. Lishay and other infectious diseases of the skin can also begin on the hands, since our hands often come into contact with infected objects. Such symptoms should become an incentive to address a dermatologist.
On the hands can be localized lichen, for example, microsporia (ringworm). Although the palms, and the more so the feet are very rarely affected, but you can not completely exclude it. You can get infected not only from a sick animal, but from a person. In the beginning, a red pimple appears, which itches, but not too much, grows and brightens in the center, dry scales begin to form there. At the edges are red small papules that form a clear border. The formation gradually increases, along the edge of the spot a limiting roller is formed, consisting of vesicles, nodules and crusts.
Infection with scabies, caused by an itch mite, can be assumed on detection of characteristic eruptions that intensively itch, especially at night or after taking a bath (shower). The rash is characterized by thin sinuous light lines connecting the entrance and exit of the tick. At the ends - small specks or vesicles, which sometimes merge into plaques with exudation. On the skin of the palms, these rashes are localized between the fingers. We need to look for more of the same rashes. Ticks like thin delicate skin, flexion of the hands, external genitalia, abdomen, flanks, folds of the skin. They never settle on their backs. Children - palms, feet, buttocks, face and head.
Red spots on the palms and temperature in the child can appear at the beginning of infectious diseases - measles, chickenpox, rubella, scarlet fever. Contact allergic dermatitis can sometimes be accompanied by an increase in temperature. Adults also are not immune from childhood diseases, especially as in adults, childhood illnesses often occur in atypical form and are quite difficult. The presence of such a symptom should be alarming and cause immediately to see a doctor.
Noticing the red spots on the palms of the child, parents tend to seek medical help. Basically, rashes in infectious diseases are localized not only on the palms, they appear after the fever (measles, scarlet fever) and other symptoms. So, for measles is characteristic photophobia - the child asks to pull curtains on the windows, scarlet fever is a kind of angina and the rash usually supplements the symptomatology. Chickenpox and rubella can flow in children in mild form without raising the body temperature, and rashes are localized throughout the body, and with chickenpox they also ache much.
Allergic dermatitis on the palms appears after contact with the allergen, which can be, in principle, any substance. Most often it is chocolate, citrus fruits, medicines, plants (including domestic ones), animal hair (more often cats), insect bites, cosmetics and household chemicals. Rashes, intense red, itchy, may be accompanied by respiratory disorders.
Lana's disease often manifests itself in childhood. Diseases of the circulatory system and hemopoiesis, accompanied by a hemorrhagic rash, may appear red spots on the palms.
Non-compliance with hygienic rules in young children is manifested as a sweating, diaper rash, dermatitis. Palms are not the most characteristic part of the body for such rashes, but it can not be excluded.
Complications and consequences
The consequences and complications of rashes, especially pruritus, are fraught with an attached secondary infection. Sometimes such rashes, which appear as an allergic reaction, quickly pass on their own, with the exception of contact with the allergen. However, if the stains do not go away, you need to immediately consult a dermatologist, so as not to aggravate the course of the disease and avoid possible complications, since the appearance of spots on the palms signals an unhealthy condition in the body.

Diagnostics of the red spots on the palms
Diagnosis is based on a complete examination of the skin and mucous membranes, based on the typical signs of the disease. Laboratory studies: bapsosevy, urine and blood tests - biochemical and clinical, in some cases a blood test for hormones, remo-tests, immunological tests is done. A medical history is made taking into account the hereditary predisposition. Appointed instrumental diagnostics: ultrasound of internal organs, skin biopsy, microscopy of scrapings and crops. For differentiation with diseases accompanied by a similar clinic, differential diagnosis is performed. For example, with a preliminary diagnosis: dyshidrotic eczema should exclude contact dermatitis, fungal lesions (dermatophytosis stop), palmar-plantar psoriasis, neurodermatitis with localization on the palms and soles of the feet, eczematids, epidermomycosis, spongiosis, scabies and some other skin diseases.
After analyzing the complex data, including a detailed medical history, clinical examination data, as well as the results of laboratory and instrumental studies, the doctor can put the correct final diagnosis and prescribe a treatment.
Treatment of the red spots on the palms
In dermatology, in the similitude of symptoms, the diseases can have a completely different etiology - from infection with microorganisms to autoimmune aggression, so the treatment methods in most cases are based on the symptomatology. Only certain diseases require radical treatment aimed at eliminating the cause of their occurrence.
Most often, with symptomatic therapy, external medicines are used to relieve itching, pain, eliminate rashes, oral drugs or injections are much less often used.
With recurrences of the disease, water procedures using soap, foam and shower gels are avoided to avoid skin irritation. To use household chemicals is undesirable, at least, you need to wear gloves. It is advisable to avoid long-term exposure to adverse environmental conditions - solar radiation, rain, wind, snow. Do not put on the areas of irritation products made of synthetics, fur, wool. From the diet of the patient, the products most often causing allergies are excluded: citrus fruits, chocolate, coffee.
If red spots on the palms are caused by contact dermatitis, it is necessary to determine and remove the irritant, after which in most cases it passes by itself or a simple rehabilitation is required to eliminate residual irritation on the skin. Patients with an immediate allergic reaction often do not need any medical treatment at all, since the inflammation disappears after the contact with the allergen has been eliminated as quickly as it appeared. Simply the patient should know the allergens and to eliminate for itself an opportunity of contact with them throughout all life. It is necessary to take into account the fact that over time, the spectrum of substances that cause allergies in this person, usually expands.
In more complex forms of allergic contact dermatitis, drug therapy is performed, mainly consisting of the use of local antihistamine or hormonal ointments, lotions with medications. When the vesicle-bullous stage of the allergy, bubbles on the patient's body are recommended to be opened, while the upper part (lid) of the bladder is not removed, but impregnated with an antiseptic and left in place. Modern methods recommend the use of epithelial ointments in such cases.
Patients with a severe form of the disease are prescribed strong drugs, both external and internal, and to enhance the absorption of the drug, use hermetic bandages. When dressing, the damaged skin is treated with a solution of salt and ice is applied to it.
Difficulties are cases of professional allergic contact dermatitis, when a radical change in the type of activity is often required to cure a patient.
Treatment of allergic contact dermatitis begins with weaker external drugs, in the absence of effect after a few weeks pass to stronger ones. They end the fight against residual phenomena, again using weaker means. Assigning an external remedy, the doctor usually takes into account the fact that on dry surfaces with cracks ointment works better, and on wetting - a cream. If a second infection is suspected, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics that can cause allergies. Do not try to eliminate it yourself, you should consult your doctor to adjust the appointment.
Ointments (creams, gels) and other external preparations are applied to a dry clean skin with a thin layer, without rubbing.
Fenistil gel (the active ingredient is dimethindene maleate, blocker of H1-histamine receptors). The drug reduces the production of histamine in the body, eliminates itching, irritation and other symptoms of an allergic reaction. Promotes the consolidation of capillary walls, has analgesic and healing effect.
Characterized by speed, significantly improves the condition almost immediately, the greatest concentration in the place of application can occur within an hour. 10% of the active component is absorbed into the systemic blood stream. It is used for itching eruptions of various etiologies, including simple and allergic contact dermatitis.
Contraindicated in cases of sensitization to dextidin other ingredients, newborns, pregnant women in the first three months, with prostate adenoma, closed-angle glaucoma.
It is used two to four times a day, in severe cases, accompanied by severe itching or extensive lesions, can be combined with the administration of drops or Fenistil capsules.
May cause adverse reactions at the site of application.
In allergic diseases with secondary secondary infection, the doctor may prescribe Lorinden C ointment. It is a combined preparation containing a glucocorticoid flumetasone pivalat, which removes inflammation, itching, exudation and other allergy symptoms, in combination with iodichloroquinoline, which has bactericidal and fungicidal action. Possible use of pregnant and lactating women in small areas. It is not prescribed for syphilitic and tuberculous lesions of the skin, oncological skin diseases, the consequences of vaccination and sensitization to the components of the drug.
Ointments that help accelerate the regeneration of tissue - Actovegin, Solcoseryl, whose active ingredient is a calf bloodless calf extract.
Ointment Solcoseryl is a biogenic stimulator of cellular metabolism, stimulates the absorption and assimilation of oxygen and glucose by cells of damaged epidermis, repairs and maintains its viable state. Prevents the formation of trophic changes, accelerating the process of recovery of the epithelial layer. Once or twice a day a thin layer of lubricated lesions can be used in bandages. It is allowed to use pregnant and lactating women.
Actovegin ointment - activator of intracellular metabolism, stimulates the absorption and assimilation of oxygen and glucose by cells of damaged epidermis, repairs and maintains its viable state. Additionally, it improves blood circulation. Two or three times a day a thin layer of lubricated lesions. Use with pregnant and lactating women - with caution. May cause side effects in the area of use.
To get rid of the residual phenomena, a methyluracil ointment with the same active ingredient is also prescribed. Stimulates the processes of reproduction of leukocytes and, to a lesser extent, erythrocytes, which leads to cellular renewal, acceleration of healing and activation of protective functions of the skin. It is prescribed for persons with leukopenia with prolonged non-healing skin lesions, the treatment plan is prescribed by a doctor. Contraindicated in malignant diseases of blood and bone marrow.
Therapy with non-hormonal ointments is usually prolonged, hormonal applied no more than one or two weeks. Ointments with glucocorticosteroids cause many side effects, including vasodilation, atrophy and depigmentation of the skin at the site of application.
Dyshidrotic eczema is treated by conducting all sorts of examinations and finding out the provoker of this condition. After diagnosis, they start treatment: they use antihistamines and anti-inflammatory drugs inside and out, in severe cases - hormonal medications and ointments. Appointed diuretics, haemodesis for the prevention of side effects of glucocorticosteroids.
Small lesions in the initial stage are treated with ointments with naphthalane oil, gray, birch tar; with attached fungal infection - a drug Fukortsin, available in the form of a solution and having a wide range of antimicrobial activity, including - and fungi. Contraindicated in allergic dermatoses, children 0-11 years. Apply to affected areas of the skin from one to three times a day, apply until the symptoms disappear. May cause effects of an overdose: dizziness, nausea, weakness, dyspepsia. Contraindicated in case of sensitization, not applied to significant body surfaces.
It cope well with eczema of all kinds of Elidel cream, its effectiveness can be compared with strong hormonal ointments. The active ingredient is pimecrolimus, an ascomycin derivative. Provides selective inhibition of production and release of pro-inflammatory factors from T-lymphocyte and mast cells. And also suppresses the secondary immune response of T-helper epithelium. Does not affect the processes of renewal of the skin, does not cause their atrophy.
It helps with itching, inflammation - exudation, hyperemia, thickening of the skin. It can be applied on surfaces of any area, pregnant and children from 3 months of age. Cream gently treat the affected skin two or more times a day.
May cause drying of the skin, after taking water procedures before treatment, apply a moisturizer. Contraindicated in case of sensitization to components, with skin infection, if possible, malignant degeneration.
In case of non-infectious genesis of dyshidrotic eczema, also use the Advantan ointment with the active ingredient methylprednisolone. Ointment inhibits accelerated cell division, reduces inflammation - redness, rash, swelling, itching. Available for dry, normal and oily skin. Contraindicated in case of sensitization to the active substance, infection with viruses, tuberculosis and syphilitic skin lesions.
The treatment of areas with rashes is carried out once a day, duration is not more than four months, children - no more than one.
Side effects are local in nature - from rashes to atrophy of the skin surface, folliculitis, hypervelocity.
Elokom ointment with active substance mometasone furoate, which is active against proinflammatory mediators, promotes the binding of histamine and serotonin, strengthens the walls of blood vessels, removes swelling, dries and reduces exudation. Can penetrate into the general circulatory system, causing common for all glucocorticosteroids side effects. It is usually recommended daily disposable treatment of affected areas of the skin. Hormonal ointments are not recommended for pregnant and lactating women.
With Lana's disease, which does not deliver uncomfortable sensations (itching, exsudation), treatment can not be prescribed. In some cases, glucocorticosteroids, orally and topically, are used to dilate blood vessels, improve additional blood circulation, and reduce pressure in the arterial bed. This reduces the redness of the palms and the pressure on the vessels.
When infectious, viral or parasitic etiology of red rashes on the palms and feet are prescribed specific treatment to eliminate the causative agent of the disease. Scheme of treatment and medication is prescribed by a doctor.
For example, with lichens and other fungal lesions, Fukortsin, Lamisil Spray and Cream, Lamicon Spray and Cream are prescribed.
Lamisil (Lamicon) spray and cream have an active ingredient - terbinafine. Its action is to interrupt the production of the main component of the membrane of the fungal cell - ergosterol. Fungicidal action of the preparations consists in inactivation of the enzyme squalene epoxidase, catalyst of the third, penultimate stage of ergosterol biosynthesis. Its deficiency with simultaneous concentration of squalene in the membrane kills fungal cells.
Squalene epoxidase of human skin cells is not susceptible to terbinafine, which explains the selective effect only on fungal cells.
These drugs have a fungicidal effect on the causative agents of the epidermophytosis, trichophytosis, microsporia, pityriasis, candidiasis, and also on dermatophytes, aspergillus, cladosporiums, scopularyopsis, fungicidal or fungistatic - on yeast fungi of different species.
The manifestations of the systemic effect of the drug are insignificant.
Studies have not revealed adverse effects of terbinafine on fetal development, but in pregnancy it is prescribed only on strict indications. Terbinafine is found in breast milk, so it is best to abstain from breastfeeding.
Contraindications to use - allergy to the ingredients of the drug; the period of breastfeeding; age up to 3 years.
Use with caution in cases of: impaired liver function and / or kidney function; alcoholism; neoplasms; disturbance of metabolic processes, hematopoiesis processes, patency of the vessels of the extremities.
Recommended duration of application: with dermatomycosis and epidermophytosis, the lesion is irrigated once a day for one week; with pityriasis - twice a day for one week.
For the treatment of fungal lesions, especially located in places covered with shoes, the form of the drug is very important. Fat components of ointments and creams, which are predominantly prescribed for topical application, can cause a greenhouse effect in the infection zone, exacerbation of the inflammatory process and its further spread. To prevent this development of the disease, antimycotics in the form of a spray are used to treat the lesion site. With the defeat of the palms, you can use both ointments and sprays.
At herpetetic lesions of the palms skin apply Acyclovir cream. It has an antiviral effect, blocking the synthesis of viral DNA, as well as immunomodulating. This cream is designed to treat rashes caused by the herpes virus. Herpes are treated by spreading the rashes five times a day at intervals of one hour. Repeat this procedure from five to ten days. The tolerability of this drug is not bad, although side effects of local importance may occur.
When scabies are usually prescribed antiparasitic ointments, for example, benzyl benzoate. The scheme of treatment is appointed by the doctor.
With bacterial skin lesions, ointments with antibiotics that are active against the identified microorganisms are used.
If the rash of any etiology is accompanied by severe itching, interfering with the patient's nightly sleep, the doctor may prescribe sedatives or antihistamines with soothing ingredients.
Vitamins A and E are prescribed to reduce the permeability of vascular membranes, accelerate the recovery and renewal of the skin surface, stabilize the hormonal background and systemic action on the body.
As part of complex therapy, physiotherapy is prescribed. It can be acupuncture, laser therapy, high frequency currents or magnetic waves, cryotherapy, electrosleep, ultraviolet irradiation, paraffin therapy.
Alternative treatment of red spots on the palms
Alternative treatment of red spots on the palms can be applied rather in a complex of medical measures, it does not exclude a visit to a doctor, diagnostics. As an independent treatment can help except in cases of non-infectious skin lesions of mild degree.

Homeopathy
Of the homeopathic preparations of a wide range of applications sold in pharmacies, with red patches on the palms, universal Traumeel C can help, even in cases of secondary infection. This drug can not cope, perhaps with scabies and lishyas (although about the lichens there is no certainty). All other cases are quite within his power, including Lana's disease. The drug is available in ampoules, tablets and in topical forms - ointment (gel). It is advisable, nevertheless, to consult before starting treatment with a doctor, especially pregnant and lactating women. It should be remembered that the established allergy to plants belonging to the family of Compositae can be a contraindication to its use. Ointment treats affected surfaces two or three times, in acute conditions no more than five times per day. Tablets and injections - according to the instructions to the drug and after consulting a doctor.
Homeopathic preparations for individual use are prescribed symptomatically, however, this should be done by a homeopathic doctor who will take into account even the most minor nuances of the disease. From the preparations intended directly for palmar rashes it is possible to note:
Ranunculus bulbosus (Ranunculus bulbosus) - used for eczematous spots of palmar localization, accompanied by itching, cracks and blisters. Itching increases from touching the palms.
Dulcamara (Dulcamara) and Calcarea phosphoricum (Calcarea phosphoric acid) - it is possible to use for cold allergies.
Bovista (Bovista) - helps with eruptions associated with nervous overexertion.
Aconite (Aconite) - one of the symptoms - a rich red color of the palmar hill under the thumb.
Operative treatment
If the red spots on the palms quickly change and increase in size, it is advisable to consult an oncologist. At least - it's not melanoma (black skin cancer). The other forms of skin tumors, even malignant ones, are not as aggressive and in the initial stages are well treatable.
Planning surgical treatment, classify the neoplasm (species, stage, speed of development). Often a tumor on the skin is excised with the help of microscopic surgery, which reduces the risk of secondary formation and prevents the removal of excess healthy skin areas.
Prevention
Preventing the appearance of red spots on the hands, in the first place, can be called the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle and strengthening of immunity, as well as the observance of generally accepted sanitary and hygienic standards and caution in dealing with aggressive substances used at home, in the garden, at work.

Forecast
In general, the red spots on the palms do not pose a threat to life and do not lead to disability, however, they give some discomfort and aesthetic discomfort.
Complete recovery from most diseases (except parasitic and infectious), manifested in this way, is unlikely. However, the quality of everyday life, especially during the period of remission, they have no significant effect.
